Turnover is a fact of life for any project, and academic research teams can face particularly high levels of people who come and go through the duration of a project.In this article, we discuss the challenges of turnover and some potential practices for helping manage it, particularly for computational-and data-intensive research teams and projects. The topics we discuss include establishing and implementing data management plans, file and format standardization, workflow and process documentation, clear team roles, and check-in and check-out procedures.
A robust model of the fully-mature, whole, healthy psyche may be described as consisting of two "dimensions," called here the "Hoop" and the "Tree." The Hoop is a horizontal dimension having to do with relationship in all its aspects. The Tree is a vertical dimension, having to do with aspiration, as well as with roots and grounding. To be fully-mature, a psyche must have both of these dimensions fully-developed and in balance with each other. The existence of the Hoop-and-Tree structure is strongly supported by evidence from the world's wisdom traditions and from modern psychology and science. The Hoop-and-Tree model shows that in essence, psychology is ecopsychology. The model also provides useful orientation in personal growth, therapy, and applied community psychology (social action).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
