“…Los equipos de investigación pueden integrar esta metodología en su cotidianidad para valorar la relevancia de sus objetivos de estudio a partir de los resultados extraídos en las redes sociales. Palabras clave: relevancia, redes sociales, investigación, ciudadanía, tendencias ne of the key aspects discussed internationally by the scientific community is how research can be an answer to the citizens' concerns in different fields and how this knowledge can be available for any citizen in any part of world (Miyairi, 2014;Molloy, 2011;Whyte & Pryor, 2011;Woelfle, Olliaro & Todd, 2011). Hence, one of the current contributions that are addressing these questions are how different research areas can ensure social impact of their research, considering social improvements (Flecha, Soler-Gallart & Sorde, 2015) as one of the criteria for evaluating this impact.…”

Despite much research done on language learning textbooks, there still exist several questions unanswered about what these textbooks' contents are about. This study is thus an attempt to investigate the 15 reading passages of "Ready for First Certificate of English" (FCE) in the light of schema theory. In doing so, the microstructural approach to schema theory was taken into the account which led to the classification of 8617 schema tokens into the three main categories of syntactic, semantic, and parasyntactic domains. Running the chi-square test revealed that the domains differ significantly from each other regarding both their types (X 2 = 2869.9, p< 0.05) and tokens (X 2 = 1704, p< 0.05) which lent support to their psychological reality. In addition, the descriptive analysis of the schemata demonstrated that reading passages are heavily outweighed by semantic types (80.7%), whereas syntactic and parasyntactic types formed only about 6% and 12.4% of the textbook, respectively. The pedagogical implication of the study is discussed and further suggestions are put forward.Keywords: schema theory, microstructural approach, semantic domain, syntactic domain, parasyntactic domain RIMCIS -International and Multidisciplinary Journal of Social Sciences Vol. 6 No.1 March 2017 pp. 1-22 Atena Attaran Ferdowsi University of Mashhad ResumenA pesar que los libros de texto para el aprendizaje de idiomas se ha investigado mucho, aún hay varias cuestiones sin responder acerca de la temática de su contenido. Este estudio es, pues, un intento de investigar los quince fragmentos de lectura del "Ready for First Certificate of English" (FCE) a la luz de la teoría del esquema. De esta manera, se tuvo en cuenta una perspectiva microestructural de la teoría del esquema lo que condujo a la clasificación de 8617 muestras de esquemas en las tres principales categorías de los dominios sintáctico, semántico y parasintáctico. La prueba del chi-cuadrado mostró que los dominios difieren significativamente los unos de los otros teniendo en cuenta tanto su tipo (X2=2869.9, p<0.05) como su muestra (X2=1704, p<0.05) lo que condujo a reforzar su realidad psicológica. Así mismo, el análisis descriptivo de los esquemas demostró que los fragmentos de lectura están fuertemente sobreponderados por los tipos semánticos (80.7%), mientras que que los tipos sintáctico y parasintáctico conforman sólo alrededor del 6% y el 12.4% respectivamente de los libros de texto. Se debaten las implicaciones pedagógicas del estudio y se avanzan sugerencias para futuras investigaciones.Palabras clave: teoría del esquema, perspectiva microestructural, dominio semántico, dominio sintáctico, dominio parasintáctico Sciences, 6(1) 3 he saliency of textbooks in English language teaching (ELT henceforth) classes cannot be ignored due to their importance in providing language input and practices for language learners (Richards, 2001).

SUMMARYScience, especially experimental science, has always depended on the careful capture of plans, actions, raw and processed data and conclusions. With scientific research now so inextricably dependent on computers, the use of an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) is almost essential. The meticulous notebooks of Michael Faraday and other scientists of his era remain as role models for the recording that is necessary, but they cannot provide the essential support for discussion, sharing, collaboration and formal verification. A blog (a contraction of Web log) can form the basis for implementing an electronic notebook but does not suffice to meet all the needs of an ELN. This paper describes the LabTrove ELN, which is blog based but provides numerous additional features, such as version control, security policies and a flexible metadata scheme, and facilities for interchanging objects with other systems. The MyExperimentalScience project links LabTrove with myExperiment, a repository for workflows in a collaborative environment, thereby making LabTrove templates available for discovery and reuse. Collaboration, sharing and reuse are essential for scientific progress, which depends on individual scientists building on the results already produced by others. Open-source ELNs such as LabTrove are ideal vehicles to support the growth of Open Notebook Science.

Dimensions of open research: critical reflections on openness in the ROER4D project

Open Research has the potential to advance the scientific process by improving the transparency, rigour, scope and reach of research, but choosing to experiment with Open Research carries with it a set of ideological, legal, technical and operational considerations. Researchers, especially those in resource-constrained situations, may not be aware of the complex interrelations between these different domains of open practice, the additional resources required, or how Open Research can support traditional research practices. Using the Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D) project as an example, this paper attempts to demonstrate the interrelation between ideological, legal, technical and operational openness; the resources that conducting Open Research requires; and the benefits of an iterative, strategic approach to one's own Open Research practice. In this paper we discuss the value of a critical approach towards Open Research to ensure better coherence between 'open' ideology (embodied in strategic intention) and 'open' practice (the everyday operationalisation of open principles).

Open science is a research accelerator

Abstract: An open-source approach to the problem of producing an off-patent drug in enantiopure form serves as an example of how academic and industrial researchers can join forces to make new scientific discoveries that could have a huge impact on human health.
