Welcome to the Open Scholarship Knowledge Base! When you find that there is a gap in this knowledge base or have a good idea for a new resource to add, you can add your own by following this guide. This resource includes a how-to video showing the steps needed. It also includes written instructions on adding the resource, describing it, aligning it with the OSKB metadata, and making it discoverable.

This is part 1 of a series of online exercises designed to demonstrate and allow students to practice what we consider the most useful, general functions of desktop EndNote for Windows. The online lessons and descriptive titles can be found in the Resources section, on the right side of your screen.Part 1 is focused on starting a new reference library and adding references from commonly used academic databases like OvidSP and CINAHL.Each lesson contains:general instructions describing what the student can expect to seespecific learning objectivesa main menu screen allowing them to choose between the demonstration and the practice exercisethe demonstration's duration timeThe demonstration part of each lesson:is narrated by the authoris not interactive includes text captionsThe practice part of each lesson:is not narrated contains more limited text prompts in place of detailed instructionsis interactiveThese lessons were created using Adobe Captivate 9 and published in HTML5 format, designed to be dropped into Moodle and used as HTML files. No grading or progress tracking is included in these lessons.They can be seen in action on KEATS (keats.kcl.ac.uk), the bespoke version of Moodle in use at King's College London. KEATS is not public, so please contact the authors for guest access or furher information regarding these lessons.

The book is associated with the lsr package on CRAN and GitHub. The package is probably okay for many introductory teaching purposes, but some care is required. The package does have some limitations (e.g., the etaSquared function does strange things for unbalanced ANOVA designs), and it has not been updated in a while.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Microbes colonize and influence nearly every environment on Earth, and when we go to space, like on the International Space Station (ISS), we bring some with us. The ISS microbial community structure has been well described, but the interactions between species have not. To close that gap, researchers utilized computer models to examine the potential metabolic interactions among ISS microbes. _Klebsiella pneumoniae_ has been shown previously to dominate the ISS microbiome, and in this study _K. pneumoniae_ and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family were predicted to be beneficial to the survival of some microbes. But not all the predicted interactions were beneficial. For the fungal groups _Aspergillus_ and _Penicillium_, the analysis predicted harmful interactions with and without benefit to _K. pneumoniae_, respectively. Culturing _K..."

This article describes the work of Hubert Staudigel and Cathy Constable, researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography who study Mt. Erebus, Antarctica's most active volcano.

Abstract: This video explores individual variation found among Weddell seals, and what those differences might mean for the future of this southernmost mammal on Earth, living in the most pristine marine environment remaining on our planet. The video features interviews on location in the Erebus Bay area of Antarctica's Ross Sea with ecologists Jay Rotella, Bob Garrott, Thierry Chambert, and Jesse DeVoe of the Weddell seal population project research team. Also featured is some truly spectacular underwater footage by Henry Kaiser, courtesy of Jo-Ann Mellish and Project B-470 (NMFS Permit No. 15478 and ACA 2003-12), and lots of Weddell puppies and moms filmed by Mary Lynn Price and other members of the B-009 Weddell research team. The video was edited and produced by Mary Lynn Price. This project video is made possible with funding and support from the National Science Foundation, and the assistance of the United States Antarctic Program. Produced in association with Montana State University.

Every springtime in Antarctica Weddell seals return to Erebus Bay to give birth and raise their new pups. And every year a team of researchers and graduate students based at Montana State University returns to Antarctica to study the ecology of these iconic marine predators in this nearly pristine marine environment. This video features interviews with ecologists Robert Garrott and Jay Rotella, professors in the Ecology Department at Montana State University, and MSU graduate student Jen Mannas.
