Search Engines: Study of Academic Libraries in Pakistan
Authors: Rubia Khan, Arif Khan, Sidra Malik, Haroon Idrees
First page: 6
Abstract: Web search engines (WSE) are powerful and popular tools in the field of information service management. This study is an attempt to examine the impact and usefulness of web search engines in providing virtual reference services (VRS) within academic libraries in Pakistan. The study also attempts to investigate the relevant expertise and skills of library professionals in providing digital reference services (DRS) efficiently using web search engines. Methodology used in this study is quantitative in nature. The data was collected from fifty public and private sector universities in Pakistan using a structured questionnaire. Microsoft Excel and SPSS were used for data analysis. The study concludes that web search engines are commonly used by librarians to help users (especially research scholars) by providing digital reference services. The study also finds a positive correlation between use of web search engines and quality of digital reference services provided to library users. It is concluded that although search engines have increased the expectations of users and are really big competitors to a library's reference desk, they are however not an alternative to reference service. Findings reveal that search engines pose numerous challenges for librarians and the study also attempts to bring together possible remedial measures. This study is useful for library professionals to understand the importance of search engines in providing VRS. The study also provides an intellectual comparison among different search engines, their capabilities, limitations, challenges and opportunities to provide VRS effectively in libraries.

'Mega' Journal: A Bibliometric Case Study of the Journal Medicine
Authors: Simon Wakeling, Peter Willett, Claire Creaser, Jenny Fry, Stephen Pinfield, Valerie Spezi
First page: 7
Abstract: Open-Access Mega-Journals (OAMJs) are a relatively new and increasingly important publishing phenomenon. The journal Medicine is in the unique position of having transitioned in 2014 from being a 'traditional' highly-selective journal to the OAMJ model. This study compares the bibliometric profile of the journal Medicine before and after its transition to the OAMJ model. Three standard modes of bibliometric analysis are employed, based on data from Web of Science: journal output volume, author characteristics, and citation analysis. The journal's article output is seen to have grown hugely since its conversion to an OAMJ, a rise driven in large part by authors from China. Articles published since 2015 have fewer citations, and are cited by lower impact journals than articles published before the OAMJ transition. The adoption of the OAMJ model has completely changed the bibliometric profile of the journal, raising questions about the impact of OAMJ peer-review practices. In many respects, the post-2014 version of Medicine is best viewed as a new journal rather than a continuation of the original title.

Analysis of the International Situation
Authors: Fabiano Couto Corrêa da Silva, Ernest Abadal, Enrique Wulff
First page: 8
Abstract: The preservation and organization of oceanographic research data enables the scientific community to consult and reuse information of different kinds, and this is made possible by the repositories, meaning the services that facilitate data storage and dissemination. This paper reviews the current situation of oceanographic data repositories across different countries and evaluates them according to a series of indicators. The writers propose that although interest in storing and reusing oceanographic data has increased in recent years, the repositories are still in the process of developing their systems for processing, disseminating and reusing data. The repositories also differ in terms of architecture and the organizational level of the content they offer.

Healthcare Consumers: A Literature Review
Authors: Ariana-Anamaria Cordoş, Sorana Bolboacă, Cristina Drugan
First page: 9
Abstract: The evolution of Internet from static Web "publishing" to the highly participative, and data-driven, innovations of Web 2.0 has been influencing how people search for health-related information. This review included studies indexed in the PubMed electronic database that focused on social media analysis, examining relationships between participants (patients and healthcare consumers) through social media usage. The obtained results showed that previous research regarding social media's impact on patients and healthcare consumers aimed at a combination of platforms, but there is a penury of information about niche topics or its usage for retrieving medical information. Nevertheless, social media proved to be to be a promising tool in research mainly for recruitment purposes. The review has outlined that eHealth literacy is an attribute for populations that are female and relatively young and educated. Blogs share personal experiences, YouTube contains unregulated, high- and low-quality information that can mislead individuals, Facebook contains more marketing than health-related information, while Wikipedia is recommended for providing high-quality information. Despite healthcare practitioners' and healthcare public institutions' reluctance about the use of social media, this review demonstrates the usefulness of social media for patients and healthcare consumers in retrieving health-related information based on content availability and usage implications, and highlights gaps in knowledge that further research needs to fill.

Authors: Guangwei Hu
First page: 10
Abstract: Retraction notices appear regularly in many scholarly journals, especially top-tier journals of science and engineering. One disconcerting feature of this emergent genre is evasion of authorship, that is, the deliberate obscuring of who has authored a particular retraction notice. This communication illustrates and discusses problems of evaded authorship of retraction notices. To address these problems, it proposes that scholarly journals should require explicit authorship of retraction notices and the inclusion of core generic components such as the content to be retracted, the reason(s) for the retraction, the attribution of responsibility, and the expression of mortification.

The purpose of the abstract is to inform the reader succinctly what the paper is about, why and how the research was carried out, and what conclusions might be drawn. In this paper we consider the same (or a similar) abstract in 13 different formats to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.

Dawkins' Bibliometric Analysis of Key Papers in Sociobiology
Authors: Craig Aaen-Stockdale
First page: 12
Abstract: In the second edition of The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins included a short bibliometric analysis of key papers instrumental to the sociobiological revolution, the intention of which was to support his proposal that ideas spread within a population in an epidemiological manner. In his analysis, Dawkins primarily discussed the influence of an article by British evolutionary biologist William Donald Hamilton which had introduced the concept of "inclusive fitness", and he argued that citations to it were accumulating in a very different manner to two other seminal papers, demonstrating the appearance and spread of a new "meme" in circles. This paper re-examines Dawkins' original analysis and the conclusions drawn from it, and updates those conclusions based on citation data accumulated in the intervening three decades since . This updated analysis shows that patterns of citation for the three papers, and Dawkins' book itself, are actually remarkably similar and show no qualitative difference in citation growth. The data are well described by a two-phase exponential model of citation growth in which citations accumulate rapidly and then saturate at a slower level of growth dictated primarily by the general increase in production. It is speculated that this two-phase exponential growth, with some modification to account for papers that are not immediately discovered, may be a signature that will help to reveal the emergence of genuinely novel ideas within the literature.

Historical-Political Narrativity
Authors: Patrick Freer
First page: 13
Abstract: This article reports results of a comprehensive content analysis of the 644 Music Educators Journal (MEJ) covers published between September 1914 and December 2015. For more than a century, MEJ's covers conveyed carefully selected visual and textual imagery to all members of the growing association. The results of the content analysis were secondarily analyzed for elements of historical narrativity and political narrativity in music education. Results indicate that imagery related to nationalism and patriotism increased during times of conflict, the representation of people diversified as time progressed, and there is evidence that the first images of Black people on MEJ covers were intentionally placed for maximum impact. The article includes related historical information about MEJ and its evolving editorial processes.

Foundations, Barriers and Enabling Technologies
Authors: Costantino Thanos
First page: 2
Abstract: High-throughput scientific instruments are generating massive amounts of data. Today, one of the main challenges faced by researchers is to make the best use of the world's growing wealth of data. Data (re)usability is becoming a distinct characteristic of modern scientific practice. By data (re)usability, we mean the ease of using data for legitimate scientific research by one or more communities of research (consumer communities) that is produced by other communities of research (producer communities). Data (re)usability allows the reanalysis of evidence, reproduction and verification of results, minimizing duplication of effort, and building on the work of others. It has four main dimensions: policy, legal, economic and technological. The paper addresses the technological dimension of data reusability. The conceptual foundations of data reuse as well as the barriers that hamper data reuse are presented and discussed. The data publication process is proposed as a bridge between the data author and user and the relevant technologies enabling this process are presented.

in Web of Science: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Beril Arik, Engin Arik
First page: 4
Abstract: There are several indicators that distinguish an academic discipline, including journals, conferences, and graduate programs. One of them is the presence of academic publications in well-regarded citation indices such as Web of Science (WoS). This study explored the bibliometric characteristics of publications on "second language writing" (SLW) covered in the Social Sciences Citation Index and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index of WoS. We found that, while the first appeared in 1992 with a steady increase in recent years, there were a total of 266 SLW publications, mostly in the linguistics research area (92%), in the WoS between 1900 and 2013. The publications included articles, book reviews, and bibliographies written by 1.64 authors per publication, suggesting a low level of collaborations among SLW scholars. They cited 31.44 publications and received citations from 5.90 publications on average. An average SLW title had 2.49 different words and a total of 10.85 words, with an abstract of about five sentences and about six keywords and diverse topics including second language writing, writing, academic writing, error correction, and plagiarism. Our findings will be of value to second language writing scholars, graduate students, and practitioners for examining the status of their field.

the Health Sciences
Authors: Alison Buchan
First page: 5
Abstract: As the requirement for accountability and demonstration of the impact of public and privately funded research increases, the practice of attributing impact to research published in high impact journals is on the rise. To investigate the relevance of existing bibliometrics laws to current health research practices, 57 research areas in Web of Science (WoS) representing the major and minor disciplines were studied. In the majority of cases, Garfield's Law of Concentration is followed with 20% of journals in each area contributing 80% of the total citations. The major multidisciplinary journals formed an anomalous grouping with low overall citation rates, although those documents cited were at a level well above the norm. In all research areas studied, team science is the prevailing norm, single author publications were rarely present in the data sets. For researchers looking to maximize the uptake and recognition of their work, publication in the top journals in the appropriate research area would be the most effective strategy, which does not in many cases include the major multidisciplinary journals.

Abstract: This White Paper reports the outcome of a Workshop on "Research Data Service Discoverability" held in the island of Santorini (GR) on 21–22 April 2016 and organized in the context of the EU funded Project "RDA-E3". The Workshop addressed the main technical problems that hamper an efficient and effective discovery of Research Data Services (RDSs) based on appropriate semantic descriptions of their functional and non-functional aspects. In the context of this White Paper, by RDSs are meant those data services that manipulate/transform research datasets for the purpose of gaining insight into complicated issues. In this White Paper, the main concepts involved in the discovery process of RDSs are defined; the RDS discovery process is illustrated; the main technologies that enable the discovery of RDSs are described; and a number of recommendations are formulated for indicating future research directions and making an automatic RDS discovery feasible.

Authors, Publications and Workflows Using ORCID Identifiers
Authors: Josh Brown, Tom Demeranville, Alice Meadows
First page: 30
Abstract: As scholarly communications became digital, Open Access and, more broadly, open research, emerged among the most exciting possibilities of the academic Web. However, these possibilities have been constrained by phenomena carried over from the print age. Information resources dwell in discrete silos. It is difficult to connect authors and others unambiguously to specific outputs, despite advances in algorithmic matching. Connecting funding information, datasets, and other essential research information to individuals and their work is still done manually at great expense in time and effort. Given that one of the greatest benefits of the modern web is the rich array of links between digital objects and related resources that it enables, this is a significant failure. The ability to connect, discover, and access resources is the underpinning premise of open research, so tools to enable this, themselves open, are vital. The increasing adoption of resolvable, persistent identifiers for people, digital objects, and research information offers a means of providing these missing connections. This article describes some of the ways that identifiers can help to unlock the potential of open research, focusing on the Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID), a person identifier that also serves to link other identifiers.

First page: 31
Abstract: This study analyzes research articles about open access (OA) indexed by the Scopus database, published from 2001 to 2015, in order to: (a) propose a categorization scheme about OA; (b) categorize the scientific production about OA; and (c) identify research trends on OA through disciplines at international level over time. The authors used descriptive statistical methods and deductive content analysis using an unconstrained matrix in 347 selected research articles. The most explored themes were found to be "overview, current state, and growth of OA" counting for 98 articles (28.2%), and "awareness, perceptions, and attitudes toward OA" for 75 articles (21.6%). As a conclusion, this study reveals a continuous and growing research interest by the OA community in studies focused on case studies regarding the development or evolution of OA in relation to certain groups, institutions, regions, periods, and how different actors perceive and address the OA movement.

Authors: Ed Vollans
First page: 32
Abstract: The seemingly overnight emergence of a form of promotion known as 'book trailers' shortly after the turn of the millennium suggests a shift in the marketing and promotional strategies employed within the publishing industry. This article follows the historical development of the audio-visual form known as the 'book trailer' across its history with a view to understanding the form itself. This article uses third party mediation to identify 'book trailers' within the public domain, grounding this work within a broader media and literary history. As such, this article charts the use of the term 'book trailer' and its competing nomenclature through newspaper archives and contextualises this with antecedent practices, and integrating this with the current literature on the film trailer as part of a wider understanding of the promotional trailer as a cultural entity.

Social Sciences and Humanities: A Case Study of Vietnamese Scholars
Authors: Phuong Pho, Thi Tran
First page: 19
Abstract: Publishing scientific research is very important in contributing to the knowledge of a discipline and in sharing research findings among scientists. Based on the quantity and quality of publications, one can evaluate the research capacity of a researcher or the research performance of a university or a country. However, the number of quality publications in Vietnam is very low in comparison with those in the other countries in the region or in the world, especially in the fields of social sciences and humanities. Employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the current study investigates university lecturers' attitudes towards research and publication and the obstacles to local and international publication at one of the main universities in social sciences and humanities in Vietnam. The study found the main barriers to publication are funding and time for research and publication, among many other obstacles. From the analysis of the data, the study would also argue that lecturers' obstacles to publication may vary across faculties (or disciplines), ages, qualifications, education, research and publication experience. The findings in this study may be applied to other institutions in Vietnam or in other countries where English is used as a foreign language.

Network Analysis
Authors: Miguel Guevara, Marcelo Mendoza
First page: 20
Abstract: How similar are the publishing patterns of among Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC countries) in comparison with other countries? This is a question that we addressed by using networks as a tool to analyze the structure of similarities and disparities between countries. We analyzed the number of publications from 2006 to 2015 that are reported by SCImago Journal and Country Rank. With this information, we created a network in order to find the closest countries to BRIC ones, and also to find communities of similar countries favoring data analysis. We found that Brazil, China and Russia are not that close to the core cluster of countries that are more diversified. In opposition, India is closer to a community of countries that are more diverse in terms of publishing patterns. Furthermore, we found that, for different network topologies, Brazil acts as a bridge to connect developing countries and that Russia practices patterns that tend to isolate it from most of the countries.

Abstract: In this paper we report on a study of 1541 articles from three different journals (Journal of Informetrics, Information Processing and Management, and Computers and Electrical Engineering) from the period 2007–2014. We analyzed their dates of submission and of final decision to accept and investigated whether the difference between these two dates (the so-called "time to accept") is smaller for the articles authored by the corresponding journal's editorial board members and whether longer times to accept yield higher citation counts. The main results are that we found significantly shorter times to accept editorial board member's articles only in Journal of Informetrics and not in the other two journals, and that articles in any of these journals that took longer to be accepted did not receive markedly more citations.

Articles? The Importance of Journal Attributes and Potential Audience on
Publication Choice
Authors: Carol Tenopir, Elizabeth Dalton, Allison Fish, Lisa Christian, Misty Jones, MacKenzie Smith
First page: 22
Abstract: In this article we examine what motivations influence academic authors in selecting a journal in which to publish. A survey was sent to approximately 15,000 faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers at four large North American research universities with a response rate of 14.4% (n = 2021). Respondents were asked to rate how eight different journal attributes and five different audiences influence their choice of publication output. Within the sample, the most highly rated attributes are quality and reputation of journal and fit with the scope of the journal; open access is the least important attribute. Researchers at other research-intensive institutions are considered the most important audience, while the general public is the least important. There are significant differences across subject disciplines and position types. Our findings have implications for understanding the adoption of open access publishing models.

Abstracts in Applied Linguistics
Authors: Seden Can, Erkan Karabacak, Jingjing Qin
First page: 23
Abstract: An abstract summarizes the accompanying article in order to promote it. While many move-analysis studies of abstracts in applied linguistics (AL) have used similar coding frameworks and demonstrated similar rhetorical organizations, their findings have not yet been aggregated to show the overall picture. The present study aimed to both examine move structures in AL abstracts and compare the results with previous studies both synchronically and diachronically. Fifty abstracts were collected from articles published in the journal English for Specific Purposes (ESP) between 2011 and 2013. Sentences were coded using a five-move scheme adapted from previous studies. Combining the results from previous research and the present study showed that most AL abstracts give information on the purpose, methodology, and findings of the associated article, while about half of the articles omit introduction of the topic and discussion of the findings. It was also found that authors frequently violate the move sequence expected by current schemes. These findings consistent with previous research suggest that future researchers informed by move analyses should explore the connection between the findings of move analyses and teaching materials for academic writing.

Authors: Cecile Badenhorst, Xiaolin Xu
First page: 24
Abstract: For doctoral students, publishing in peer-reviewed journals is a task many face with anxiety and trepidation. The world of publishing, from choosing a journal, negotiating with editors and navigating reviewers' responses is a bewildering place. Looking in from the outside, it seems that successful and productive academic writers have knowledge that is inaccessible to novice scholars. While there is a growing literature on writing for scholarly publication, many of these publications promote writing and publishing as a straightforward activity that anyone can achieve if they follow the rules. We argue that the specific and situated contexts in which academic writers negotiate publishing practices is more complicated and messy. In this paper, we attempt to make explicit our publishing processes to highlight the complex nature of publishing. We use autoethnographic narratives to provide discussion points and insights into the challenges of publishing peer reviewed articles. One narrative is by a doctoral student at the beginning of her publishing career, who expresses her desires, concerns and anxieties about writing for publication. The other narrative focuses on the publishing practices of a more experienced academic writer. Both are international scholars working in the Canadian context. The purpose of this paper is to explore academic publishing through the juxtaposition of these two narratives to make explicit some of the more implicit processes. Four themes emerge from these narratives. To publish successfully, academic writers need: (1) to be discourse analysts; (2) to have a critical competence; (3) to have writing fluency; and (4) to be emotionally intelligent.

Researching for Publication
Authors: Yongyan Li
First page: 25
Abstract: The value of including a research component in medical students' training programs has been widely recognized. Nevertheless, examples of how this may be done are rarely found in the literature. The case study reported in this short paper aimed to address this gap in the literature by investigating how a group of postgraduate students attached to the Orthopedics Department of a major hospital in China engaged in research for publication. Fourteen students were interviewed, and their "mission lists" were analyzed to reveal the students' research profiles, the sources of their research ideas, and their data collection activities. The study showed that the students pursued more clinical than basic research topics, their research topics often fell under their immediate supervisors' larger projects, and the students were actively engaged in the gathering of research data on the wards and at the outpatient clinic. The reported study does not claim generalizability of its findings. More of such reports from various settings in different parts of the world are needed to enhance constructive exchanges and mutual learning.

Authors: Ron Martinez, Karin Graf
First page: 26
Abstract: In Brazil, as in much of the academic world, there is an increasing acknowledgement among scholars that their chances of having their research noticed by a geographically diverse scientific community increase when that research is communicated in English. At the same time, much like the majority of the world, the first language of Brazil is not English, which raises one question that heretofore has not been addressed in the context of that country: How do Brazilian scholars write their research articles in English? That question drove the initial phase of the exploratory study described in the present paper, and it is one that also led the authors to discover that one key agent in the publishing process in Brazilian academia is the dissertation/thesis supervisor. Questionnaire and interview data collected from students and supervisors at a Brazilian university suggest that student and lecturer alike see the need and value of specialized writing guidance, yet neither party seems to ascribe the role of "literacy broker" (a person who contributes to the development of a text intended for publication) to the thesis supervisor in any specific way. Pedagogical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Authors: Mei Tian, Yan Su, Xin Ru
First page: 9
Abstract: To boost their research productivities, Chinese universities are putting great pressure on their research-active staff to publish in internationally indexed journals. However, the emerging publish-or-perish culture in China has seen little empirical investigation thus far. In the research reported in this article, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven young researchers in science and engineering disciplines at a research-centered university in central China. The study showed that these young scholars faced great pressure to publish papers in internationally indexed journals. Consequently, the participants were reluctant to spend time on other academic activities, including teaching training. They also reported considerable work time devoted to writing, which resulted in fatigue and negatively affected family relations. The participants admitted that they had to rush to publish, and therefore were less likely to produce papers of better quality or those with novel discoveries. The research contributes to our reflection upon Chinese universities' increasing use of the number of international publications as a major assessment and incentive measurement of their faculties' academic performance.

Authors: Stephen Donovan
First page: 10
Abstract: Despite changes in technology that have improved both production and the final product, small local journals still have a low profile and struggle to obtain adequate copy, in terms of both quality and quantity. My experiences as editor of two small journals in Jamaica in the 1990s provided similar problems to those that are encountered by many editors today. Endeavour to persevere, but, if you are not appreciated, be prepared to resign in order to retain your own respect. There will always be more jobs for good editors.

Research and Review Articles in 2015: Range of Practice in Four Clinical
Authors: Mary Kerans, Anne Murray, Sergi Sabatè
First page: 11
Abstract: Reporting guidelines for clinical research designs emerged in the mid-1990s and have influenced various aspects of research articles, including titles, which have also been subject to changing uses with the growth of electronic database searching and efforts to reduce bias in literature searches. We aimed (1) to learn more about titles in clinical medicine today and (2) to develop an efficient, reliable way to study titles over time and on the fly—for quick application by authors, manuscript editors, translators and instructors. We compared content and form in titles from two general medical journals—the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the British Medical Journal—and two anesthesiology journals (the European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Anesthesiology); we also analyzed the inter-rater reliability of our coding. Significant content differences were found in the frequencies of mentions of methods, results (between general and subspecialty titles), and geographic setting; phrasing differences were found in the prevalence of full-sentence and compound titles (and their punctuation). NEJM titles were significantly shorter, and this journal differed consistently on several features. We conclude that authors must learn to efficiently survey titles for form and content patterns when preparing manuscripts to submit to unfamiliar journals or on resubmitting to a new journal after rejection.

English: Challenges for Portuguese Linguists' Authorial Voices
Authors: Joana Santos, Paulo da Silva
First page: 12
Abstract: This paper assesses the impact of publishing abstracts in English in the Portuguese Linguistics Association (APL) Proceedings from 2001 to 2010. The study was carried out with a corpus of 137 abstracts, follows a Text Linguistics model inspired by the Interactionnisme Sociodiscoursif and links text features to the social practices and genre repertoires of this community. Quantitative data show signs of a "Portuguese identity" in authors' voices such as personal forms, move signaling, long sentences, profuse embedding, heavy subjects, and variations in content selection, but also signs of standard academic guideline-indexed choices in impersonal forms, template sentences, coordinated constituents, nominalizations, and conventional text plans. Standard genre models and writing features from "core" academic communities coexist with alternative and traditional ways of writing and of disseminating knowledge, which is typical of a semiperipheral non-native English-speaking community torn between conflicting language and cultural paradigms. These contrasting tendencies are linked to identity changes within the community, as APL authors try to achieve international recognition by publishing abstracts in English as a Foreign Language. Since the APL research topic is the Portuguese language, the process mirrors the authors' struggle between standard internationalization in English and individual stance in Portuguese.

Authors: Costantino Thanos
First page: 13
Abstract: The characteristics of modern science, i.e., data-intensive, multidisciplinary, open, and heavily dependent on Internet technologies, entail the creation of a linked scholarly record that is online and open. Instrumental in making this vision happen is the development of the next generation of Open Cyber-Scholarly Infrastructures (OCIs), i.e., enablers of an open, evolvable, and extensible scholarly ecosystem. The paper delineates the evolving scenario of the modern scholarly record and describes the functionality of future OCIs as well as the radical changes in scholarly practices including new reading, learning, and information-seeking practices enabled by OCIs.

First page: 14
Abstract: Purpose: To assess the assumption that differences exist between the traditional and publication-based PhD routes in terms of the thesis' length and the scientific publications originating from it. Method: A retrospective comparative study on medical PhD theses offered by an online repository was performed. All free full-text medical PhD theses defended at United Kingdom institutions between 2003 and 2015 were analyzed and assigned to the traditional (TT) or publication based thesis (PBT) group. Several characteristics of theses and thesis-related articles were collected and analyzed. The thesis-related articles were investigated regarding quantity and visibility (citations, impact factor, and journal rank). Results: The theses length proved similar in PBT and TT group. PBT group included significantly more studies than TT group (mean 4.44 vs. 2.67) also reflected in significantly more thesis-related articles. The percentage of articles listed in Web of Science and published in a journal with impact factor proved significantly lower in TT compared with PBT group. On the contrary, article citations were significantly higher for TT. Both groups published similarly in high-ranked journals (Q1 or Q2). Conclusion: The research productivity originating from the PBT group was, as expected, significantly larger but not significantly more visible than those from TT group.

Studies on Managing Creativity
Authors: Simon Das
First page: 15
Abstract: This paper aims to highlight a link between publishing business innovation and how editors manage creativity in the digital era. Examining the changing industrial and historical business context for the U.K. magazine publishing industry, two case studies are analyzed as representatives of different ends of the publishing company spectrum (one a newly launched magazine published by a major, the other an independent 'magazine' website start-up). Qualitative data analysis on publishing innovation and managing creativity is presented as a springboard for further research on magazine media management.

European Research
Authors: Birgit Schmidt, Astrid Orth, Gwen Franck, Iryna Kuchma, Petr Knoth, José Carvalho
First page: 16
Abstract: Open science refers to all things open in research and scholarly communication: from publications and research data to code, models and methods as well as quality evaluation based on open peer review. However, getting started with implementing open science might not be as straightforward for all stakeholders. For example, what do research funders expect in terms of open access to publications and/or research data? Where and how to publish research data? How to ensure that research results are reproducible? These are all legitimate questions and, in particular, early career researchers may benefit from additional guidance and training. In this paper we review the activities of the European-funded FOSTER project which organized and supported a wide range of targeted trainings for open science, based on face-to-face events and on a growing suite of e-learning courses. This article reviews the approach and experiences gained from the first two years of the project.

Abstract: In this article we argue that the current endeavors to achieve open access in scientific literature require a discussion about innovation in scholarly publishing and research infrastructure. Drawing on path dependence theory and addressing different open access (OA) models and recent political endeavors, we argue that academia is once again running the risk of outsourcing the organization of its content.

in Specialized Discourse: A Case Study on the Translation of Anglophone
Metaphors to French
Authors: Geneviève Bordet
First page: 18
Abstract: The dominance of English as the world language of publication has had a decisive impact on the dissemination of information and innovation across cultures, with a resulting tendency to a standardization of scientific conceptualization. This dominance does not only impact scientific and academic discourse, but also the whole range of professional and technical texts representative of various specialized discourses. This paper advocates engaging in the practice of dynamic translation to keep non-English specialized languages alive. Advanced students' analysis of translation projects yields revealing examples of conflicting views of the world, between English and French, in emerging and controversial fields such as "shadow banking" or "human branding". The students' evaluation of alternative solutions to problems of equivalence highlights the cultural gaps which exist within global fields of knowledge and can be interpreted in terms of the intercultural and interlinguistic transfer of specialized metaphor. It is shown that the practice and analysis of translation provide an appropriate approach for a better understanding of languages for specific purposes (LSP) and the development of awareness of domain loss and epistemicide.

Worldwide Bibliometric Analysis in the Academic and Scientific Context
Authors: Sandra Miguel, Ely Tannuri de Oliveira, Maria Cabrini Grácio
First page: 1
Abstract: This research aims to diachronically analyze the worldwide scientific production on open access, in the academic and scientific context, in order to contribute to knowledge and visualization of its main actors. As a method, bibliographical, descriptive and analytical research was used, with the contribution of bibliometric studies, especially the production indicators, scientific collaboration and indicators of thematic co-occurrence. The Scopus database was used as a source to retrieve the articles on the subject, with a resulting corpus of 1179 articles. Using Bibexcel software, frequency tables were constructed for the variables, and Pajek software was used to visualize the collaboration network and VoSViewer for the construction of the keywords' network. As for the results, the most productive researchers come from countries such as the United States, Canada, France and Spain. Journals with higher impact in the academic community have disseminated the new constructed knowledge. A collaborative network with a few subnets where co-authors are from different countries has been observed. As conclusions, this study allows identifying the themes of debates that mark the development of open access at the international level, and it is possible to state that open access is one of the new emerging and frontier fields of library and information science.

Does Open Access Publishing Facilitate the Translation of Research into
Health Policy and Practice?
Authors: Simon Spedding
First page: 2
Abstract: Health practitioners and policy makers translate health research into practice and policy. However, these end users have limited access to full versions of peer-reviewed literature in subscription journals. Thus, the essential information bypasses the people it is designed to help and the health benefits of medical research are limited and delayed. Open access (OA) publishing is one strategy to facilitate the translation of research to improve health. This review explores the evidence that OA publishing is an effective strategy to facilitate the translation of research and improve health. The review examines citation benefit, knowledge translation, diffusion impact, self-archiving and regional responses, and found entrenched views about OA publishing but little empirical research.The many biases and flaws in published research lead to a high level of waste and limit the ability to find innovative solutions to the burgeoning health costs. Evidence is presented here that OA publishing would facilitate a reduction in these flaws and biases, reduce waste in research and facilitate innovation. Although there are positive signs of change, more action and more research are needed.

Authors: Dirce Santin, Samile de Souza Vanz, Sonia Caregnato
First page: 4
Abstract: The international dimensions of contemporary science have significantly impacted production and use patterns of scientific knowledge, which, in turn, requires new insights of librarians, publishers and academic institutions. Despite the recognized importance of internationality in science, studies on the internationalization of scientific output are still limited and dedicated exclusively to analyzing of its diffusion and international collaboration. This study analyzes the national/international character of articles, international collaboration, references and citations of Brazilian scientific output in Evolutionary Biology in order to understand the contribution to the internationalization of science in Brazil. Analyses are based on data from the Science Citation Index of Web of Science and include 1450 articles, 60,454 references and 18,059 citing documents. Results reveal similar internationality patterns, with 99.6% of articles published in foreign journals, 90.5% international references, and 88.5% international citations. Despite recording the lowest value among the indicators (51.9%), international collaboration surpasses the national and international average and is an important characteristic in the field in Brazil, contributing to increasing the number of references and the impact of articles. Evolutionary Biology is considered a predominantly international field, whose internationality patterns increase the audience for the studies and provide greater visibility for Brazilian science.

Text-Historical Take on Genre Analysis
Authors: Oliver Shaw
First page: 5
Abstract: The challenge of publishing internationally for non-native English speakers (NNESs) is substantial, although there are conflicting accounts as to how NNES-authored texts fare in English-medium journals and the nature of the criticism levied at these texts. Collaborators from a wide variety of backgrounds and skill sets may contribute to these texts, and the aspects they focus on differ based on their profile. One of these aspects, rhetorical appropriateness, is of interest to the study of NNES writing because of difficulties authors have in adapting to the discourse-level features of English-medium academic texts. This article presents a multi-year research project exploring the rhetorical characteristics of writing produced by 10 NNES academics seeking to publish in international biomedical journals. Using a text-historical approach, the study traces the arc of 10 different research articles across multiple drafts, analyzing the processes and agents behind these drafts and the feedback received from target journals. Focusing on rhetorically significant changes made across different drafts and comments concerning linguistic issues, this paper seeks to further the understanding of English as a lingua franca within written discourse in the field of biomedicine. One text history is presented to exemplify the methods.

- Publications, Vol. 4, Pages 6: A Proposal for Critical-Pragmatic
Pedagogical Approaches to English for Research Publication Purposes
Authors: James Corcoran, Karen Englander
First page: 6
Abstract: Despite the increasing demands on many multilingual scholars outside the centre(s) of scientific knowledge production to publish their research in international scholarly journals, the support for such academic writing for publication is uneven at best. Existing English for research publication purposes (ERPP) instruction typically aims to aid multilingual scholars in achieving genre-based expectations and/or navigating the submission and review process, but it often does not address the politics of English-language knowledge production. In this paper, informed by an empirical case study and a theory building perspective, we address the need for a sustained program of courses/workshops for multilingual scholars in the (semi-) periphery and propose a means of operationalizing a critical-pragmatic approach to such course/workshop content. Our empirically-driven model is informed by the results of a recent case study investigation into an intensive ERPP intervention designed to address multilingual Spanish-speaking L1 scholars' challenges with writing research articles for publication in indexed (Web of Science) international scientific journals. Our model lays the groundwork for a more critical approach to ERPP pedagogy, one that attempts to attend more fully to the needs of multilingual scholars within an asymmetrical market of global knowledge production.

Implicit Collaboration in Digital Works
Authors: R. Skains
First page: 7
Abstract: Appropriation is a common practice in art and literature; electronic literature in particular lends itself readily to appropriation and collaboration, due to its multimodal and born-digital nature. This paper presents practice-based research examining the effects of digital appropriation on two works of digital fiction (a hyperfiction and an interactive fiction), demonstrating how it alters the creative writer's typical process, as well as the resulting narrative itself. This practice of appropriation results in "implicit collaboration" between the digital creative writer and those whose work is appropriated, an arguable form of shared authorship. Questions regarding the ethics of this practice, including copyright concerns and authorship, are discussed.

My confusion as a kid as to why my mother and older sister were so enamoured by "Neighbours".
For the contest - http://www.protagonize.com/group/lets-have-a-contest/topic/7520.
When I was young, about 4 or 5,
I would come back from school
And dump my stuff on the floor.
My big sister would as well,
Longer legs running ahead
And stopping in the living room.
My mum would be watching TV;
"Neighbours", to be precise.
It was all about neighbours -
That was what I gathered.
And they would sit and watch,
As if these Neighbours were better
Than the ones we had outside.
I didn't think so; our neighbours
Were always so nice.
They smiled at me and hugged me
And their kids would play with me
Even though they were bigger.
We always had so much fun.
Even my big sister did.
So why did she like these Neighbours
So much?
I never understood.
And my other sister and I
Just went upstairs and played
With our Barbies.
'Cause our Barbies were so much
Better than some fake Neighbours.

Sebastian- Passing Time
Chapter Four-
Sitting down, Sebastian looked over the piles of junk in disgust. With the tip of his dagger, he dragged out a clean pair of gray cargo pants and, flicking his wrist, sent them flying towards Fynn. They landed with a dull thud at his feet.
"Thanks," he said with a small smile. Nodding, Sebastian turned away as Fynn pulled the zipper down on his pajama bottoms and tugged on his pants. After a moment or two of struggling to get his buttons correct, Fynn said, "You can look again."
Sebastian nodded again and stood up, immediately pushing his dagger back into its leather sheathe attached to his belt. He glanced down at his waist to make sure that all his other weapons were secure as well. After double checking that all his weapons were in place, he said, "I'll see you at the court, then."
He turned and walked away, shutting the door behind him. Pressing himself against the wall, his cloak melted into the shadows and he slipped down the corridor invisible. Might as well test the guards, he thought, knowing that if they were paying attention to their fullest, they'd catch him. I don't have anything else to pass time with, anyway.

Only a handful of Scammell Showtracs were made specifically for towing fairground and circus trailers and as a generator for the rides and lighting, and due to their battleship type construction nearly all have survived into preservation. This smart example of Pat Collins is seen treading its way though a typical townscape in the 1960s with its attendant posse of excited urchins.
A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American, in oils on canvas or board would cost about £2000.

How Isolaz Acne Treatments Can Rejuvenate Your Skin
posted on
Chronic and moderate acne can take its toll on your appearance, self-esteem and confidence. Acne can be difficult to manage at any age, and medical lasers such as the Isolaz acne treatment are proving to be effective for treating acne and improving the texture and tone of the skin. Unlike topical treatments and products that dry up acne lesions and surrounding skin, Isolaz acne treatments work deep in the tissues to kill acne-causing bacteria and can even shrink the pores.
Get in touch with a cosmetic dermatologist in your area to discuss the pros and cons of Isolaz acne treatments. A skin consultation can determine if you will be a good candidate for a series of these innovative acne treatments that will clear up your skin by reducing and eliminating inflammation.
Key Skin Rejuvenation Benefits of Isolaz Acne Treatments
Isolaz is a revolutionary acne treatment that can produce significant results within 48 hours after treatment, and also help to rejuvenate and restore the skin tone. Some of the key skin rejuvenation benefits of Isolaz acne treatments include:
- Significant reduction in skin redness
- Reduction of severity of breakouts
- Decrease in skin oil production
- Immediate drying and flattening of visible blemishes
- Improves skin's ability to absorb topical products
- Deep cleans the pores
- Can be customized to treat almost all skin types
- Relatively painless procedure, feels like a warm massage
- Face can be treated in under 20 minutes
- Body can be treated in under 30 minutes
Most people can wear light powder makeup shortly after their procedure, and the skin can be washed with a cleanser designed for sensitive skin during the healing process. There is no pain or downtime involved, so the patient can resume regular activities shortly after treatment.
How Isolaz Acne Treatments Work
Before the treatment begins, the skin is sprayed with water and left to dry. The skincare specialist can then place the Isolaz acne device directly over the skin and will select the appropriate setting for your skin tone. Most people feel a warm, tingling sensation as the device emits light energy waves deep into the dermis, and the vacuum helps to suction away debris and oils on the skin's surface. The treatment process typically takes a few seconds per treatment area, and the device will be moved around each facial compartment to treat each area.
Once the treatment cycle is complete, the patient can apply a moisturizing sunscreen and light makeup. Male clients are able to shave within a few hours after their Isolaz treatment. The skin will appear healthier and may even glow for a few days after the treatment as it begins to heal and restore itself. Most people notice a significant reduction in blemishes and breakouts within 24 to 48 hours after their treatment.
Learn more about the latest acne treatments in our information guide, or consult with a cosmetic dermatologist in your area to find out if you may be a good candidate for Isolaz acne treatments.

This is a short guide on how to perform a backup of your Microsoft OneNote 2007 Notebooks to two different locations. I would recommend saving it locally and also to a network drive. Or if you are not located on a network, then save the 2nd copy to a thumb drive or 2nd hard drive.
Perform a backup of Microsoft OneNote 2007 Notebooks
Step 1
Launch Microsoft OneNote 2007. If you have not yet created a notebook, on the left hand side right click and select "create new notebook."
Step 2
Once you have a notebook created you will need to go up to the "Tools" menu and then "Options".
Step 3
Then go down to the save option in the list. You can change the Backup Folder and the Default Notebook Location. Make sure they are going to two different physical places; not just different folders on the same hard drive. This way if your hard drive dies, you will still have a copy of your OneNote Notebooks.
Step 4
Now go to the Backup option in the list and select "Back Up All Notebooks Now" to test and verify they are being saved to the two different locations.

Stewart-Peterson Market CommentaryClosing Commentary - May 26, 2017
Top Farmer Closing Comments 5-26-17
CORN HIGHLIGHTS:Corn futures posted modest gains this afternoon as contracts finished 3 to 5 cents higher. Front month Jul was up 5 cents to 3.74-1/4, followed by Sept up 4-3/4 cents to 3.81-3/4. For the week, Jul corn finished 1-3/4 cents higher. Though gains were small, this is the fifth consecutive week corn prices have finished higher than the previous week. Weather forecasts continue to be the focus of the marketplace, as weekend rains are forecasted across the Grain Belt over the next 3 days. Portions of the Corn Belt have seen heavy rainfalls already this spring bringing concerns of overall crop quality, and the planting pace, as producers look to finish up this year's crop. Crop progress numbers had corn planting at 85% last Monday, but given wet weather across the region, the last 15% may be difficult to get accomplished. Due to cold temperatures and wet ground, planted acres may be in need of replant or may be looking to switch to other crops, possibly soybeans. With that in mind, it was very evident that grain markets were seeing spreading action today with traders buying corn, and selling soybean contracts. As crop-insurance states are starting to loom on the calendar, prospects of reduced acreage for this year's corn crop are bringing some premium into the marketplace, as overall demand has stayed supportive throughout the spring months.
SOYBEAN HIGHLIGHTS:Soybean futures, with the selling pressure of the grain markets, has broken yesterday's weakened close and brought additional follow-through selling. Front month Jul was down 13 cents to 9.26-1/2 and Aug was down 12 cents to 9.29-1/2. This ended a difficult week for bean futures, as the Jul contract dropped 26-1/2 cents, closing at its lowest price point since 3/2016. Soybean futures were on the sell side of spreading action today, as traders bought corn and wheat futures, and sold beans. With the prospects of additional acres shifting from corn to soybeans, the market was already susceptible to some selling pressure due to potential global supplies, and now additional acres will only add to that prospect of large stockpile next fall. With yesterday's weak technical close, bean futures could possibly have additional selling pressure, as prices are struggling to find support levels. The next few trading sessions could be key if bean futures can find some stability and at least consolidate prices in the short term. Weather will stay as a factor in the marketplace, as the corn crop is getting close to being completed, and attention may focus on key bean producing areas and their ability to get this year's crop in. Demand has stayed supportive, as seen with strong export sales numbers yesterday, and lack of production could bring quick price support given the global demand picture.
WHEAT HIGHLIGHTS:Chi wheat futures posted modest gains this afternoon as contracts finished 5 to 7 cents higher. Front month Jul was up 7-1/2 cents to 4.38-1/4, while Sept was up 7 cents to 4.51-1/4. For the week, Chi Jul contract picked up 3 cents and Sept finished 2-3/4 cents higher. Spillover strength from the corn market, as well as noticeable spreading versus soybeans, helped support wheat futures at a potential short covering rally this afternoon. Weather forecasts have also stayed on the supportive side as rain through the U.S. winter wheat crop may have impacts on quality as well as quantity of this upcoming potential harvest. Hard red winter wheat has had a difficult time estimating a potential yield with lower acres planted, and the mixture of weather events from early season, drought-stress to snow and rains late, may make this year's crop yields extremely variable. Short-term, this should keep wheat prices supported.

Simon Hammerstein hit the scandalous jackpot with his New York club when it opened in 2007, combining flagrantly outrageous shows with high-rolling clientele and tales of behind-the-scenes controversy. Early in 2011, he opened the London branch on the site of the old Raymond Revue Bar to tabloid squawking. So what can you expect? For a start, you won't get in unless you have very deep pockets (table reservations are several thousand pounds) and/or know someone. If you do make it in, you'll see they've remodelled the place a treat, in a decadent-chocolate-box kind of way that seems to be to the taste of the mostly young, bouji clientele. The show is of a high technical standard, with mostly exclusive acts compered by mischievous MC Raven O. Some, especially the skills-based turns, are very strong; others tend to the titillating or have more production values than originality. The stand-out is the extraordinary Rose Wood, a transgendered performer whose pieces – generally heavy on nudity, violence and bodily fluids – aroused spluttering tabloid outrage but in fact bespeak a sophisticated, funny and deeply humane engagement with the context of the Box and the world beyond. Doors open at 10pm, shows start around 1am. Apply for tickets via the website.

Rubbish club. Not for everyone's taste obviously but the staff were rude and prices were ridiculous. It felt like a tourist trap.
We went there on a Saturday evening with a friend and my wife for the first time. From the very moment we arrived, we had a really good experience as the bouncer in front of the door wave at us from afar for us to get in right away without lining up (thanks to Lux Guest List (077 - 7509 - 2749 nice guys free entry and vip table booking) The girl attending the bar was very nice and recommended a better choice for us to select drinks to save us some money. The crowd there is very nice, friendly and very cosmopolitan with very different nationalities. The music that night was a very good selection of techno house music well mixed together and people are dancing all around the place Nice party we will return !
Sorry - forgot to give my rating when posting earlier - so here it is.
Not worth the trip, what use to be different is now mainstream and money-hungry. So many other places in London worth partying at. The Box is just another nightclub overrun with girls who are trying too hard and men who could never get girls buying bottles to do just that.

Michaela Sigmon, Miss Virginia 2016
Age: 21
Hometown: Chesapeake, Virginia
Talent: Tap Dance
Platform Issue: Making It Matter
Education: Studying Communications at Old Dominion University
Scholastic Ambition: Obtain a degree in Communicationsand become an announcer for ESPN or NFL Network. I also plan to complete my minor in dance and performance arts
Scholastic Honors: Phi Theta Kappa; Presidential Honor Roll, Dean's List; Honors College
My Defining Moment: Mia Michaels, an award-winning choreographer, once told me to make sure who I was before I ventured out into the world. Those were some of the wisest words I've ever heard.
What I've learned from the Miss America Pageant: The Miss America program has directed me in the creation of my platform, which I will carry with me throughout my life. My platform is a reflection of my true feelings, and the Miss America program has afforded me opportunities to reach out and put my platform to work.
My platform, Making It Matter, is me and is a powerful tool to reach and empower individuals with the realization that they are valued. I have lived in such a manner that, when crowned Miss America, I can reach others with the confidence of knowing there is nothing one can bring against me to devalue my platform or the Miss America Organization. My platform motto, "I may not know you, but I see you, and I value you," is the basis of the Miss America Organization and brings to fullfillment my life's motto: The greatest blessing is to be a blessing.

Thanksgiving Plans (I)
As we stepped out of the building and into the open campus of the school, I noticed that most of the students were heading toward the car park, to leave the school premises as fast as possible. Some were still in the academic buildings, others headed to the library - they were probably the studious bunch that couldn't bear the thought of starting break.
"Ahhh!" Damien sighed, stretching his arms up in the air. "It's good to see the sun out again!"
We all nodded, agreeing with him.
"It's still quite chilly though," Nick said, buttoning up his coat. Even Leo wrapped his black scarf tighter around his neck.
Winter was almost upon us, with temperatures now as low as 35°F. I had heard that January and February would be the harshest months in terms of the cold, but that didn't necessarily mean that December would be easy. Glancing up at the sky, I took a moment to relish the feel of the sun's rays on my face, knowing it would set around 4:30 P.M, which left us just a couple hours. And who knew if God would be kind enough to grant another day of sunshine tomorrow?
"I gotta say I'm happy that today's a half-day," I spoke, descending the steps of the building and making my way toward the school gates. I didn't have to look over my shoulder to know that the guys were following me.
"Who isn't?" Damien said. He caught up to my pace, both him and Nick on my left with Leo on my other side.
"I'm glad that Amy's school lets out early too." Nick smiled, practically bouncing in his steps.
"Is that where you're headed now? To see Amy?"
He bobbed his head along at my question in a happy nod. "She's invited me to spend Thanksgiving with her family this year. It'll be our first Thanksgiving together as a couple so I'm pretty excited."
"Will Lillian be there?" Damien asked, and I couldn't help but notice that he had that look on his face. That look of sinful mischief. This 'Lillian' must be one of his victims.

So easy to keep track of the funny stuff my kids do and the dates/stories about all of their "firsts." much easier than using a baby book!
mwilemon's recommendation
Let's face it, as a new Mom you fall into two catigories. You either are baby book crazy, or your like me, have a MILLION baby books, but never a moment to even think about getting it together. Baby tales makes it very easy to document those crazy moments, and throw it into a box. LOVE that idea!!

It is a beautiful day: there are skylarks, high puffs of cloud and broken sunshine. It is too cool for shirtsleeves when the pools of sunshine are out of reach but warm enough to bask when a brisk wind pushes the clouds aside. The meadows are up, the grasses playing tall and not yet pushed about by wet and squall, and I am writing today with the sound of bumblebees busying themselves in the linaria.
The garden is still late and although the elderflower is blooming sweetly in London and on the motorway verges on the first hour out of town, it is a couple of weeks behind in Somerset. Growing fast and lushly, they dominate at this time of year, elbowing their neighbours aside and making sure they get the light they need for their harvest of berries. Having lived fast, they do get old before their neighbours, splitting at the base after a decade or so to leave a broken tooth in the hedge line. Bad behaviour aside, the deadwood makes the best of kindling and a year without elderflower syrup is a year without summer captured in a jar.
I would never volunteer to plant a common Sambucus nigra in a garden setting. The likelihood is that they will arrive on their own from seed carried in by songbirds that have feasted on the glut of berries. These are some of the first to ripen in the autumn, hanging shiny and black in heavy trusses, and they are gone in a minute once the weather cools.
Elder will grow anywhere, and this is why, in the selected varieties, they make a useful garden plant. They will grow as happily on chalk as they will on thin acidic sand, and give them heavy, wet clay and they will put on more than a metre a year. They are adaptable to sun or to shade, growing tighter and flowering more heavily in sun and more lushly in shade, where flowering will also be lighter. Though the foliage might burn in salt-laden winds, it will regenerate and they make good frontliners for this reason.
Their speed of growth and willingness to settle in fast is useful behaviour and I will often use them to provide height and volume when it's needed. Sambucus race upwards when they are happy, and this makes them useful as a "nurse" plant for slower-growing shrubs that need some initial shelter. I used them in my garden in London, to provide height and volume in the early years, and removed them later, seeing their contribution as easy come, easy go.
Sambucus nigra "Laciniata" is the closest you can get to the wild elder without the thuggish behaviour. The flowers are cream and held flat, like balancing plates among netted foliage. Growth is light and airy, each leaf netted like a delicate seaweed, and they make a delightful foil for ascending foxgloves and wilding roses. They are also good for growing in grass and I'll use them to feather a garden out into more natural places.
Sambucus nigra "Black Lace" is in many ways similar to look at but it is altogether more ornamental for its colouring. The foliage is as dark as damsons and glossy when it emerges. The flowers are the colour of blackberry fool and make a wonderful compliment to moody perennials such as Astrantia "Roma" and Lilium martagon. Once the plants establish, you can also use them as a frame for Clematis viticella, their tiny flowers adding a myriad of later-summer interest. Cut the plants back to a tight framework in the winter to encourage a wonderful crop of lush foliage.
"Black Beauty" is another dark-leaved variety with uncut foliage, dark-coloured stems and the same pink in the flower. It is quieter than "Black Lace" and perhaps less of a talking point. Of the yellow-leaved varieties the American elder, Sambucus racemosa "Sutherland Gold", is the best. Find it a cooler corner to keep it in good condition and team it with Digitalis purpurea "Apricot" to amplify its early salmon colouring. It will not flower as profusely, or provide you with cordial, but as it dims to a soft gold you will be happy to have the continued freshness of a summer solstice.
Get Growing
Heel cuttings of elder strike easily if taken now from semi-ripe wood. Ideal material is this year's side shoots to a main branch. Root in 50: 50 sharp grit and compost in a cool corner out of direct sunlight
