XTBG SEMINAR

An open platform scheduled every Tuesday afternoon

2023 XTBG Population Genomics Workshop

中國科學院西雙版納熱帶植物園和中國科學院上海免疫與感染研究所聯合復旦大學以及諾禾致源公司擬于2023年10月9日-15日針對國內外科研人員開設第二屆培訓班。本次培訓班將歷時一個星期，我們邀請到來自國際、國內種群基因組學和物種形成方向的國內外頂尖科學家，聚焦該領域最前沿的研究理論和方法通過一系列講座、研討、研究方法實際操作演練，對參與者從種群基因組學的理論和方法上進行一次徹底的提升。

Integrative Conservation Webinar Series: Achieving zero extinction for land plants

Despite the importance of plants for people and the threats to their future, plant conservation receives far less support than vertebrate conservation. Plants are much cheaper and easier to conserve than animals, but, although there are no technical reasons why any plant species should become extinct, inadequate funding and the shortage of skilled people has created barriers to their conservation. These barriers include the incomplete inventory, the low proportion of species with conservation status assessments, partial online data accessibility, varied data quality, and insufficient investment in both in and ex situ conservation. Machine learning, citizen science, and new technologies could mitigate some of these problems, but we need to set national and global targets of zero plant extinction to attract greater support.

主編們將介紹稿件遴選標準，就如何撰寫稿件、推薦審稿人、應對審稿人意見，以及投稿過程中的常見問題等給出建議，并探討科研人員如何選刊、期刊如何更好地服務于科研社區。討論結束后，還會就現場聽眾的提問答疑解惑。

Open the Black Box: Meet Journal Editors

Integrative Conservation, published by XTBG and Wiley, is a fully open access and interdisciplinary journal encompassing a wide range of perspectives and scholarly disciplines relevant to our understanding and conservation of biodiversity.
In this webinar, the Editors-in-Chief of the journals Integrative Zoology, Plant Diversity and Integrative Conservation will discuss academic publishing from an editor’s perspective.
The editors will introduce their journals, discuss selecting the right journal, give advice on writing papers and responding to reviewers’ criticisms, and highlight common pitfalls to avoid. They will also discuss the importance of developing and strengthening Chinese and Asian academic journals, and how to run a successful journal that provides value to the scientific community. All this represents a platform for the audience to gain answers to questions about their journals.
