Affiliation Information In Datacite Dataset Metadata: A Flemish Case Study, Niek Van Wettere

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

This article aims to evaluate how and to what extent metadata of datasets indexed in DataCite offer clear human- or machine-readable information that enables the research data to be linked to a particular research institution. Two main pathways are explored. First, researchers can encode their affiliation information at the moment of data submission. This can be done by means of free-text metadata fields or via the inclusion of identifiers such as GRID/ROR and ORCID. Second, affiliation information can be traced indirectly through linking between a dataset and associated publications, given that the metadata of publications is often more explicit about …

Dataset Search In Biodiversity Research: Do Metadata In Data Repositories Reflect Scholarly Information Needs?, Felicitas Löffler, Valentin Wesp, Brigitta König-Ries, Friederike Klan

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

Abstract

The increasing amount of publicly available research data provides the opportunity to link and integrate data in order to create and prove novel hypotheses, to repeat experiments or to compare recent data to data collected at a different time or place. However, recent studies have shown that retrieving relevant data for data reuse is a time-consuming task in daily research practice. In this study, we explore what hampers dataset retrieval in biodiversity research, a field that produces a large amount of heterogeneous data. In particular, we focus on scholarly search interests and metadata, the primary source of data in …

Overruling Roe V. Wade: Lessons From The Death Penalty, Paul Benjamin Linton

Pepperdine Law Review

In Furman v. Georgia (1972), the Supreme Court struck down the Georgia and Texas death penalty statutes, thereby calling into question the validity of every other state death penalty statute. In their concurring opinions, Justices Brennan and Marshall expressed the view that, given society’s gradual abandonment of the death penalty, capital punishment violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishments.” Justice Powell and three other justices dissented, arguing that the Court had misread the state of the law regarding society’s acceptance of the death penalty. Four years after Furman, in a quintet of cases, the Court held that …

A Song Of Ice And Fire: Offshore Methane Hydrates And The Regulatory Laws That Govern The 'Methane Dragon', John Thomas

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

Offshore methane hydrates have recently made headlines as various countries began experimenting with methods of exploration and extraction of the resource. The value and abundance of this resource presents many exciting opportunities as researchers and developers begin to contemplate the possibility of commercial development of methane hydrate reserves. This Comment seeks to explore the legal regulations in place and assess whether the current legal regime, both in the United States and internationally, would be able to efficiently regulate methane hydrates and their unique composition due to difficulties stemming from exploration and extraction. In particular, this Comment will look at how …

The Coronavirus Pandemic 1 Year On—What Went Wrong?, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

January 30, 2021, marked the first anniversary of the declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO) of COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). Thus far, the world has been no match for SARS-CoV-2, with more than 100 million cases and 2.5 million deaths. The US has been among the world’s poorest performers in addressing the pandemic, with more than 500 000 deaths.

Vaccines offer the best chance of returning to normal, but circulating variants pose a major obstacle, particularly the emergence of variants that are more transmissible and are developing partial resistance to vaccines against …

Towards A New Archimedean Point For Maternal Versus Fetal Rights?, Pnina Lifshitz-Aviram, Yehezkel Margalit

Louisiana Law Review

Some experts in the field have defined the year 2019 as “a critical time for abortion rights,” since during the first half of the year alone 19 American states enacted almost 60 abortion restrictions, including 26 abortion bans, and state legislators have introduced many more. This Article reevaluates whether these recent shifts may amount to a real legal tsunami that could yield a new Archimedean point for women’s and fetuses’ rights, or only a temporary and shallow wave, which will probably abate after the Trump presidency. After exploring in a nutshell the recent restrictive as well as liberal developments in …

Dramatic Rise In State Bills Targeting Transgender Student Athletes, Cecily D'Amore

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

2021 has brought a dramatic increase in the number of states proposing bills to regulate the participation of transgender athletes in school sports. More specifically, these bills target transgender women’s participation in women’s athletics, with proponents stating that they are seeking to “protect . . . female sports from being destroyed.” The American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”) noted that in 2020, legislation was introduced to this effect in eighteen states. Just in the first two months of 2021, however, twenty-four states had introduced similar legislation. Sports Illustrated, on March 12, 2021, noted that that number is now up to twenty-six. …

The Role Of Sunnah In The Protection Of The Environment

UAEU Law Journal

Protecting the environment from pollution is probably a major international problem. Islam preceded all man-made legislations in protecting the environment. The legislations of Islam were adequate enough to protect the environment in a way that guarantees the best use of it. This paper consists of five parts. In the first part, the concept of environment was defined from a linguistic, geographical, and general sense. The concept of environment in Islam and the role of man in protecting it were also explained in the first part. The second part of the paper was devoted to the role of the Sunnah in …
