Restrepo, Silvia; ter Horst, Enrique; Zambrano, Juan Diego; Gunn, Laura H.; Molina, German; Salazar, Carlos Andres – Education for Information, 2022
This manuscript builds on a novel, automatic, freely-available Bayesian approach to extract information in abstracts and titles to classify research topics by quartile. This approach is demonstrated for all N= 149,129 ISI-indexed publications in biological sciences journals during 2017. A Bayesian multinomial inverse regression approach is used to…

O'Meara, Mary – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2009
Micronutrient malnutrition affects the health and well being of 3 billion people globally. Identifying means to improve the micronutrient density in the edible portions of crops is an important way to combat nutrient deficiencies. By studying how plants obtain micronutrients from the soil, we can develop methods to enhance uptake. Although more…
