Journal Of Crystal Growth
The ''Journal of Crystal Growth'' is a semi-monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering experimental and theoretical studies of crystal growth and its applications. It is published by Elsevier and the editor-in-chief is J. Derby ( University of Minnesota). History The ''Journal of Crystal Growth'' was founded following the 1966 International Conference on Crystal Growth (ICCG) held in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Ichiro Sunagawa, who participated in ICCG, wrote in the ''Journal of the Japanese Association of Crystal Growth'' that before then, "The crystal growth community was totally fragmented and had remained as a peripheral field at the mercy of other organizations." Michael Schieber ( Hebrew University) later recounted feeling the need for an individual journal on the subject after the conference proceedings were published as a supplement to the '' Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids'' that had to be additionally ordered by journal subscribers.

Crystallography
Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids. Crystallography is a fundamental subject in the fields of materials science and solid-state physics (condensed matter physics). The word "crystallography" is derived from the Greek word κρύσταλλος (''krystallos'') "clear ice, rock-crystal", with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and γράφειν (''graphein'') "to write". In July 2012, the United Nations recognised the importance of the science of crystallography by proclaiming that 2014 would be the International Year of Crystallography. denote a direction vector (in real space). * Coordinates in ''angle brackets'' or ''chevrons'' such as <100> denote a ''family'' of directions which are related by symmetry operations.

Retraction Watch
Retraction Watch is a blog that reports on retractions of scientific papers and on related topics. The blog was launched in August 2010 and is produced by science writers Ivan Oransky (Former Vice President, Editorial '' Medscape'') and Adam Marcus (editor of ''Gastroenterology & Endoscopy News''). Its parent organization is the Center for Scientific Integrity. Scope Oransky and Marcus were motivated to launch ''Retraction Watch'' to increase the transparency of the retraction process. They observed that retractions of papers generally are not announced, that the reasons for retractions are not publicized, and that other researchers or the public who are unaware of the retraction may make decisions based on invalid results. Oransky described an example of a paper published in ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences'' which reported a potential role for a drug against some types of breast cancers. Although the paper was later retracted, its retraction was not reported ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Retraction In Academic Publishing
In academic publishing, a retraction is the action by which a published paper in an academic journal is removed from the journal. Procedure A retraction may be initiated by the editors of a journal, or by the author(s) of the papers (or their institution). Retractions are typically accompanied by a retraction notice written by the editors or authors explaining the reason for the retraction. Such notices may also include a note from the authors with apologies for the previous error and/or expressions of gratitude to persons who disclosed the error to the author. A lesser withdrawal of content than a full retraction may be labelled a correction. There have been numerous examples of retracted scientific publications. Retraction Watch provides updates on new retractions, and discusses general issues in relation to retractions. History A 2011 paper in the ''Journal of Medical Ethics'' attempted to quantify retraction rates in PubMed over time to determine if the rate was increa ...

Scholarly Publishing And Academic Resources Coalition
The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) is an international alliance of academic and research libraries developed by the Association of Research Libraries in 1998 which promotes open access to scholarship. The coalition currently includes some 800 institutions in North America, Europe, Japan, China and Australia. Richard Johnson served as director 1998-2005. Heather Joseph became executive director in 2005. History The idea of SPARC was presented at the 1997 annual meeting of the Association of Research Libraries. Kenneth Frazier, librarian at the University of Wisconsin, proposed that attendees at the meeting develop a fund to create a new publication model for academic journals wherein many libraries contributed to that fund, and from that fund, the contributors would create new publications on some model which lowered the costs of all journals. As founding director, Rick Johnson led the establishment of SPARC in 2002 as a result of so many libra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wet Chemistry
Wet chemistry is a form of analytical chemistry that uses classical methods such as observation to analyze materials. It is called wet chemistry since most analyzing is done in the liquid phase. Wet chemistry is also called bench chemistry since many tests are performed at lab benches. Materials Wet chemistry commonly uses laboratory glassware such as beakers and graduated cylinders to prevent materials from being contaminated or interfered with by unintended sources. Gasoline, Bunsen burners, and crucibles may also be used to evaporate and isolate substances in their dry forms. Wet chemistry is not performed with any advanced instruments since most automatically scan substances. Although, simple instruments such as scales are used to measure the weight of a substance before and after a change occurs. Many high school and college laboratories teach students basic wet chemistry methods. History Before the age of theoretical and computational chemistry, wet chemistry was the predom ...
