Kennt ihr schon das aktuelle Cover von The Lancet?

»The level of criminal incompetence exposed by recent witnesses to the UK COVID-19 Inquiry…has proven that many, if not most, of over 230 000 deaths were preventable.«

All #HealthCare #students worldwide should learn the #history of #medicine during the #NaziRegime & the #Holocaust according to a #report published Wednesday by #TheLancet . The journal formed a commission in 2021 to explore how the lessons from that time could help improve #MedicalEducation in the future. In its 50-page report, the commission highlights the stories of victims, perpetrators, collaborators, and resisters of #NaziCrimes in the practice of medicine.

'Offline: We have a decade'

'Our oceans may be heating. Our tropical forests may be facing critical temperature thresholds. Freshwater biodiversity may be shrinking. But we still cannot imagine a time when our species could contemplate extinction'

This is one of those pieces, that you start reading and don’t stop until you reach the end.

“ The problem lies with our imagination as much as our
cognition.”

Oh… doesn’t it just. ‘Imagination’ for the powerful, or would-be powerful, rotates uniquely around how they can acquire more power. The same is true for the tribal morons.

I’d like to have been able to boost this >100 times.

Indien ächzt unter Temperaturen von annähernd 45 Grad Celsius. Behörden melden 96 Tote. Teils fällt die Schule aus, Ältere und erkrankte Menschen sollen das Freie meiden. Abkühlung ist vorerst nicht in Sicht.

TwraSun,

Laut Bericht der medizinischen Fachzeitschrift (2022) stieg die Zahl hitzebedingter Todesfälle in (2000-2004 vs. 2017-2022) um 55 %. Nach wissenschaftlicher Einschätzung ist dies auf Erderhitzung zurückzuführen. ⁦

Journal performance beyond the . Cristina Huidiu at Elsevier (a former librarian) says responsible use of metrics - article metrics, journal metrics, & - can be business indicators to help publishers to make decisions.

Can get insights into impact beyond citations and trends in fields, from patents and funding.

Collaboration patterns of existing authors can show new directions of their work.

How can further context help • Funding data gives early indications of: - Funders changing focus towards specific disciplines - Universities (and researchers) working of topics before publications are planned Patent portfolio shows focus. Any interesting outliers?

What are the core functions of journals, asks James Butcher:

  1. Filter (rejection)
  2. Enhance (revisions, copyediting)
  3. Amplify (brand, press releases)

Leadership and advocacy also matter for many influential journals, such as where James worked. They have "convening power" to gather stakeholders and cross-pollinate ideas between disciplines.

Early signals of advances can be highlighted to readers, and authors can get recognition and visibility.
