2) Investment in peer review is an investment in the future of nursing

Peer review is an impartial mechanism designed to scrutinize and examine the rigor of research and scholarly publications. In practice disciplines such as nursing, participation in the peer review process is especially important to ensure that we practice and teach according to the best available evidence. In an earlier opinion editorial, El-Masri (2011) had addressed the issue of sustaining quality peer review. Continue reading on Zendy Plus: https://zendy.io/title/87

3) Water: The final resource; How the politics of water will impact on the world

Up to the turn of the century, the world’s population had grown with water abundant in most developing countries. Then everything changed. Ocean oscillations (which affect the weather patterns) have altered, leading to droughts in areas that were expecting rain, and flooding for those previously anticipating arid conditions. The result is that around a fifth of the world’s population will receive much less rain than expected. What effect will this have? Continue reading on Zendy Plus: https://zendy.io/title/88

4) Integrated conflict management systems pay off with lower levels of formal grievances and lower turnover rates

The authors investigate survey and personnel file data from 5,456 individuals from 2003 to 2010 and test key predictions of Integrated Conflict Management Systems (ICMS) theory. They find that employees whose managers provide high-quality conflict management interviews (CMIs) have a lower likelihood of formal grievances, significantly more perceptions of participative department culture, and lower turnover rates.

5) The secret life of the sun

This basic story is what science has told for decades: solar birth, a dreary stretch of time and then genesis. But powerful new space telescopes and the burgeoning field of “cosmochemistry,” as well as genealogy techniques borrowed from biology, are enabling astronomers to write a much richer and more complex biography for the sun. The universe may have innumerable stars, but we can know only one intimately. Continue reading on Zendy Plus: https://zendy.io/title/90

Access 120,000 scientific publications for a flat monthly fee on ZendyPlus Algeria!

Algeria flag on a world map.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 20th February 2020: Users in Algeria can now subscribe to ZendyPlus and access more than 120,000 scientific publications, covering medicine, engineering, business and other subjects including top titles such as Science, Harvard Business Review and many more!

Let’s pretend you’re an independent learner, looking for the latest research in chemistry. Recent records show that a year’s subscription to reputable journal comes to around $358. However, access to one journal is rarely enough. Let’s look at the subscription costs for some other journals. If you were to look at more specific journals in genetics and biotechnology these would come to an average of $250 each, bringing your total up to $858 per year, $71 (8549.47 DZD) per month with access to only 3 journals.

These prices make scientific discovery inaccessible to most people without institutional access! One has to either pay exorbitant amounts for accessing quality research or find a way to source the findings directly from the author which is usually a longer route.

With the current environmental, social, and political turmoil across the globe, we have a chance to form a global brain, and move towards a more knowledgeable tomorrow. However, we’ve been stuck struggling to access research. This is where the need for Zendy was born from.” – Founder and CEO, Knowledge E, Kamran R. Kardan.

Zendy is a digital library created to gather all scientific literature under one roof. Individuals can test the platform in a free trial and then subscribe for a nominal monthly fee or opt for the yearly alternative. Zendy aims to make research, currently trapped behind steep paywalls, affordable. 

Zendy users in Algeria currently have access to more than 120,000 scientific publications from publishers such as Emerald Publishing, Sage Publishing and more coming onboard soon.

Conquering worldwide inequality in access to scientific literature: ZendyPlus now available in Morocco

Morocco city of chefchaouen

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 13th February 2020 – Users in Morocco can now access more than 120,000 publications, including 30,000 journals and 30,000 eBooks across all disciplines through a simple monthly subscription to ZendyPlus.

Access to scientific literature, particularly in developing countries, has been an obstacle in global scholarly discovery for years. The need for reliable resources in Morocco has never been higher with the rapidly growing student population. Students enrolled in tertiary education has increased from 295,634 to 1.01 million in 17 years (source: Statista).

In the current academic environment, individuals require university facilitated access to navigate paywalled research databases. However, many regional universities exist with limited resources, not to mention the vast majority of the public not affiliated with institutions. Alternatively, students, doctors, researchers, and independent learners must generally pay a fee of up to $40 per article to access the latest scientific research.

Each day that research is unavailable to large communities, we miss out on opportunities that are possible when research is accessible and searchable. The Zendy team is incredibly excited to have Morocco on board and hopes to one day unlock all human potential by granting global access to all scholarly literature.” – Founder and CEO, Knowledge E, Kamran R. Kardan

Zendy is an online platform created to provide individuals with access to scholarly research and literature by making it affordable and accessible to everyone. The platform is suited for all academic and non-academic professionals, students, and knowledge enthusiasts.

Top 5 downloaded articles of January 2020

ZendyPlus covers content across all disciplines and is suitable for all academic and non-academic professionals, students, and knowledge enthusiasts or anyone looking for evidence to back their research!

Here are the top downloaded articles by ZendyPlus users in January 2020:

1. Water: Towards a culture of responsibility

Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and animal life. It’s equally important to the world economy: it functions as a universal solvent, makes possible industrial cooling and transportation, and is necessary for all kinds of agriculture. Antoine Frérot, CEO of Veolia Water, takes us on a tour of the world’s waters, of our water. Lack of clean water kills 2.2 million people every year, and nearly 1 billion people do not have reliable access to clean drinking water. Continue reading on ZendyPlus: https://zendy.io/title/21099

2. Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus transmission

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection causes a spectrum of respiratory illness, from asymptomatic to mild to fatal. MERS-CoV is transmitted sporadically from dromedary camels to humans and occasionally through human-to-human contact. Current epidemiologic evidence supports a major role in transmission for direct contact with live camels or humans with symptomatic MERS, but little evidence suggests the possibility of transmission from camel products or asymptomatic MERS cases. Continue reading on ZendyPlus: https://zendy.io/title/95

3. Cultural dialectics in international teamwork dynamics

Some people see multinational collaboration as a problem, while others see it as an opportunity. Intercultural teamwork involves a dynamic push-pull tension between diversity and unity which places its study solidly within a dialectic perspective. In-depth interviews were conducted with 27 individuals, from various industries, who held management or supervisory positions, worked on multinational teams, and spent time working abroad.

4. Mindfulness improves verbal learning and memory through enhanced encoding

Mindfulness is a state of being characterized by present moment awareness of the unfolding of experience in a nonreactive way. Recent research has begun to demonstrate the effectiveness of mindfulness in improving certain cognitive abilities, including verbal learning and memory. However, no research has investigated the potential mechanism by which mindfulness may improve verbal learning and memory. Continue reading on ZendyPlus: https://zendy.io/title/97

5. The secret life of the sun

Astronomers know that in about five billion years, the sun will burn through its hydrogen supply and begin to cool, ballooning into a swollen behemoth whose outer edges might swallow our planet. However, they are still learning how the sun’s death rattle will influence the interstellar medium (the gas and dust that fills the space between stars), the makeup of future stars and the galaxy as a whole.
