“…Действительно же выдающиеся статьи живут по своим неведомым законам. А испортить целостность статьи очень легко: один из авторов этого исследования пострадал от рецензентов, которые склоняли его к замене ряда ссылок на русском языке на ссылки англоязычные; в частности делался намёк на якобы «неизвестность» работ И. В. Маршаковой-Шайкевич [17]. Понятно, что рецензент думал о повышении цитируемости будущей публикации и, следовательно, публикующего журнала, но сделано это было по меньшей мере бестактно.…”

Рассмотрены наукометрические характеристики белорусских журналов, индексируемых в Science Citation Index Expanded, проведено их сравнение с изданиями, относящимися к той же тематической категории и имеющими лучшие значения импактфактора, а также с теми, значение импакт-фактора которых соответствует последней позиции второго квартиля (так называемые «журналы середины списка»). Определено, во сколько раз импакт-фактор издания с наибольшим значением этого показателя и импакт-фактор «журнала середины списка» превышает его значение у индексируемых белорусских журналов. Проведён анализ с целью выяснить, сколько ссылок должен получить белорусский журнал в дополнение к уже имеющимся, чтобы его импакт-фактор совпадал с импакт-фактором «журнала середины списка» той же тематической категории. Оценены перспективы индексирования Science Citation Index Expanded тех белорусских журналов, которые представлены в Emerging Sources Citation Index. Даны рекомендации редакционным органам рассматриваемых журналов о том, как укрепить позиции изданий в Science Citation Index Expanded или что делать, чтобы они перешли в эту БД из Emerging Sources Citation Index. The scientometric characteristics of Belarusian journals indexed in Science Citation IndexExpanded are compared to those of the journals that belong in the same subject category and have the best values of the impact factor, as well as of the journals that have the value of impact factor that corresponds to the last position of the second quartile ("the middle-list journals"). It is determined how many times the value of impact factor of the journal of the highest value impact factor in the same subject category as well as the impact factor of the "middle-list journal" exceeds that of the indexed Belarusian journals. The authors investigate into how many citations a Belarusian journal should get "in addition" to the ones it has already obtained in order to have the impact factor coinciding with the value of the "the middle-list journal" in the same subject category. The prospects are evaluated for Belarusian journals, the papers of which are currently displayed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, to be indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded. Recommendations are given to the editorial boards of the journals under consideration aimed to strengthen their positions in Science Citation Index Expanded or to be included into this database.

“…At the river outlet, the water flow is regulated by a sluice, protecting the surrounding area from flooding. The spawning population of North Sea houting is unknown, but estimated to be about 3,500 in River Vidaa (Svendsen et al 2018). In 2009, two artificial lakes, Lake Nørresø and Lake Hestholm Kog, were established on the river (Fig.…”

“…The North Sea houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus Linnaeus, 1758) is an anadromous and iteroparous salmonid fish endemic to the Wadden Sea (Svendsen et al 2018). The River Vidaa in Denmark supports the only indigenous population of North Sea houting left in the world.…”

“…These extirpations are attributed to a combination of pollution, overfishing, habitat loss as well as fragmentation caused by the establishment of migratory barriers in the rivers (Borcherding et al 2010). Since the 1970s, numerous projects have been carried out to conserve the North Sea houting, but with limited success (Stoltze and Pihl 1998;Pihl and Laursen 2002;Jepsen et al 2012;Poulsen et al 2012;Svendsen et al 2018).…”

“…The objective of this study was to inform conservation practitioners by investigating factors that influence the migration of the North Sea houting. To date, conservation efforts for the North Sea houting, including removal of migration barriers and habitat restoration, have been insufficient (Jensen et al 2015b;Svendsen et al 2018). This suggests that a better understanding of the factors important for population development, such as migration and mortality, is much needed before successful conservation measures can be implemented.…”

Investigating fish migration, mortality, and physiology to improve conservation planning of anadromous salmonids: a case study on the endangered North Sea houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus)

et al. 2019

Understanding migratory behavior, mortality, and physiology is essential for conservation of many species, particularly anadromous fish. In this study, freshwater and marine migrations of the endangered salmonid North Sea houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus (Linnaeus, 1758)) were investigated using telemetry. Furthermore, physiological samples were collected from North Sea houting and from resident and anadromous populations of the closely related European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus (Linnaeus, 1758)) to compare hypo-osmotic tolerances. On average, North Sea houting spent 193 days at sea where the mortality was 36%. Most fish returned from sea in the autumn, and river entry correlated inversely with river temperature and positively with discharge. Fish spent an average of 49 days in the estuarine area. Artificial lakes negatively affected migration speeds. Migration speeds did not differ consistently between individuals (i.e., not a repeatable trait) but correlated positively with water temperature. Fish arrived at spawning areas in November. In the post-spawning state, Na+/K+-ATPase activities were elevated in North Sea houting and anadromous whitefish compared with resident whitefish, while osmolality was elevated only in North Sea houting. Our study provides important information for conservation planning related to the Habitat Directive of the European Union that lists the North Sea houting as critically endangered.

Ignoring non‐English‐language studies may bias ecological meta‐analyses

Meta‐analysis plays a crucial role in syntheses of quantitative evidence in ecology and biodiversity conservation. The reliability of estimates in meta‐analyses strongly depends on unbiased sampling of primary studies. Although earlier studies have explored potential biases in ecological meta‐analyses, biases in reported statistical results and associated study characteristics published in different languages have never been tested in environmental sciences. We address this knowledge gap by systematically searching published meta‐analyses and comparing effect‐size estimates between English‐ and Japanese‐language studies included in existing meta‐analyses. Of the 40 published ecological meta‐analysis articles authored by those affiliated to Japanese institutions, we find that three meta‐analysis articles searched for studies in the two languages and involved sufficient numbers of English‐ and Japanese‐language studies, resulting in four eligible meta‐analyses (i.e., four meta‐analyses conducted in the three meta‐analysis articles). In two of the four, effect sizes differ significantly between the English‐ and Japanese‐language studies included in the meta‐analyses, causing considerable changes in overall mean effect sizes and even their direction when Japanese‐language studies are excluded. The observed differences in effect sizes are likely attributable to systematic differences in reported statistical results and associated study characteristics, particularly taxa and ecosystems, between English‐ and Japanese‐language studies. Despite being based on a small sample size, our findings suggest that ignoring non‐English‐language studies may bias outcomes of ecological meta‐analyses, due to systematic differences in study characteristics and effect‐size estimates between English‐ and non‐English languages. We provide a list of actions that meta‐analysts could take in the future to reduce the risk of language bias.
