The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Olga had published academic work over 25 times before she fell victim to a predatory journal. Today she is embarrassed be

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

Almost half of all dementia cases may be associated with modifiable factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. At the same time, some risk factors are built into our biology, such as age, sex, and genetics. But dementia is not a single disease, rather symptom of multiple underlying disorders. Therefore, risk factor profiles for various dementia subtypes are likely to vary. A new study highli

People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and dying prematurely due to atherosclerosis. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has now identified molecular mechanisms that may explain the increased risk. Their discovery may lead to more accurate treatments for patients with atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes in the future. People with type 2 diabete

Learning about climate change and other sustainability challenges can make students feel anxious and stressed, often leaving them overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond or take action. A new toolbox, developed by researchers at Lund University in collaboration with experts in climate change, pedagogy, arts, and child psychology, aims to strengthen students’ resilience and help them transform fee
The research areas remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumption researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe the development in retail research over the past ten years. “In one of our recent reports, we call it 'Retail as unusual.' There is no longer a normal state in trade, no 'Business as usual.' Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan
