Against these conflicting trends, EMBO reports seeks to re-assert the importance of the short-format article, carrying a single key message of ground-breaking significance. So writes the journal’s Editor, Howie Jacobs (EMBO reports 10, 935; 2009). Against a background of screeds of scientific articles, blogs and other commentary available on the internet, and vast mountains of supplementary information and data, the short-format of EMBO reports is increasingly popular.

receiving due credit and recognition for their work? Not if their names get confused along the way. Jane Qiu investigates these, and other questions, in a Nature news feature in the current issue of the journal (Nature 451, 766-767; 2008). The article covers the huge problem of how to distinguish between Asian researchers, given the vast numbers of people sharing relatively few surnames. The problem is particularly challenging in the publishing sphere, not only in identifying an author correctly in citation databases and other indeces, but for editors in choosing appropriate peer-reviewers. Asian researchers suffer in being hampered from full participation in the international scientific community, for example they are less likely to be invited to contribute to conferences, to be successful in grant applications or to win awards.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/nautilus/2008/02/post_22.html#wpn-more-783" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-10589" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/nautilus/2008/02/post_22.html#respond" title="Comment on Due credit for Asian authors">add a comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/nautilus/tell-a-friend?id=783">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-10589"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=Due+credit+for+Asian+authors+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html&title=Due+credit+for+Asian+authors">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html&title=Due+credit+for+Asian+authors">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html&title=Due+credit+for+Asian+authors">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnautilus%2F2008%2F02%2Fpost_22.html&title=Due+credit+for+Asian+authors">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-10568" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-10 wpn-even wpn-alt wpn-author-maxine-clarke wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-citation-analysis wpn-category-format wpn-category-writing cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2008-01-25T08:22:29+00:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2008-01-25">25 Jan 2008 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="08:22:29+0000"> 08:22 GMT</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/nautilus/2008/01/language_and_languages_of_scie.html'>Language and languages of science</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/author/Maxine-Clarke/" title="Maxine Clarke">Maxine Clarke</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/citation-analysis/" rel="tag">Citation analysis</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/format/" rel="tag">Format</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/writing/" rel="tag">Writing</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <p>Martin Fenner, on his Nature Network blog Gobbledygook, notes that The Deutsche Ärzteblatt , the official journal of the German Medical Association, will from this month be publishing an English version. The reason? So that the journal is more clearly indexed in databases such as PubMed, hence available to more readers, leading to more citations of journal articles, a better Impact Factor, and enhanced reputation of the journal. Martin’s opinion is that although German was once an important scientific language, today only 2 per cent of articles indexed in Medline are in the language. “In the end”, he writes, ” it makes the exchange of ideas between scientists much easier if we can all use the same language. And Nature Network is a good example for this.”  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/nautilus/2008/01/language_and_languages_of_scie.html#wpn-more-762" class="more-link"> … Read more</a></p> </div> <div
