“…Ciampitti and McCormack in an article focusing on the communication concerns of ECMs wrote, ‘In these networks [Twitter, Facebook, etc], users typically share similar interests (digital expression) but readily foster personal relationships using mobile devices’ (Ciampitti & McCormack, 2016). This chimes with the findings of the Wiley survey regarding ECMs and the requirement for digital communication not felt to the same extent amongst their more experienced peers, what Ciampitti and McCormack call ‘digital “footprints” of varied composition’ (Ciampitti & McCormack, 2016). A recent publication by the STM association under its Tech Trends initiative highlighted the impact of digital natives on the workplace, academia, and research in general.…”

Key points There is less awareness of open‐access publishing amongst practitioners than amongst their academic colleagues. The requirement for certification is a significant driver of professional society membership, particularly for those in clinical and veterinary medicine. Flipping a society journal from a subscription model to fully open access may drive down satisfaction. Professional society members state a desire for increased collaboration with academics and feel that societies have a role to play in this. Satisfaction levels with society membership are generally low amongst early career members (ECMs), but there are some clear opportunities for targeted services to improve this. Awareness of open access is reasonably high, and there are calls for greater transparency and improved data sharing, particularly from ECMs and engineers.

“…Mobile technologies are advancing soil science as new applications and analysis methods are created. In addition, new technologies provide opportunities for outreach and raising awareness of many scientific issues faced today as mobile technologies are becoming more widely available and affordable (Ciampitti and McCornack, 2016). With development of new mobile devices and applications, subjects such as soil quality can be readily studied, not only by professionals but also by students in classroom settings (Karlen et al, 2003).…”

Soil color sensor data collection using a GPS-enabled smartphone application

et al. 2017

Application of accurate and low-cost sensor technology to collect soil color data provides an opportunity to increase the density, quality and quantity of soil data to monitor our changing soil resources. The objective of this study was to develop a mobile application that would enable users to create their own soils database consisting of GPS location and soil color data gathered using the application and a mobile sensor. A mobile application was created utilizing the Nix TM Pro color sensor that produces multiple color results, including Munsell color notation. The application also allows users to toggle between "in-field" sampling as well as dry or moist soil samples. Users can choose to record GPS location and a photo of the soil sample to upload into an online database for storage. The application was tested for functionality in the field and for its ability to match Munsell notation values determined using a Munsell Soil Color Chart (MSCC). Field data were synchronized to a cloud database and subsequently retrieved and used to produce a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) layout showing sample point locations and soil color attributes. The Soil Scanner application allows for rapid analysis and collection of soils data that can be stored for further study and reference using various color systems and location data.

“…Extension and teaching professionals should also become involved in creating guidelines for sharing data. In a previous article in this magazine (Ciampitti and McCornack, 2016), we highlighted the importance of sharing data for modern‐day extension programming. Teaching would also benefit from data sharing.…”
