Press Releases Last Updated: 17 June 2013
Taylor & Francis launch a new White Paper on facilitating discovery of free-to-view online content The increasing amount of free-to-view online content poses a significant challenge for today’s librarian in facilitating discovery. Potentially such free resources could be of great value for education purposes - teaching, learning and research - but how do librarians determine the value of all these online resources when ‘free’ doesn’t necessarily mean easy to find? Taylor & Francis recently conducted research via focus groups, telephone interviews and a survey (eliciting over 500 responses) to explore librarians' opinions on the availability and usefulness of free online resources – the results of which are now being released in the form of a White Paper. You Know I’m No Good: the Guardian and the Independent’s gendered reporting on Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty ‘We like our rock stars to be hard drinking, chain smoking, authority-baiting rebels. That is, unless they’re women. From ‘rivers of blood’ to rants on the Croydon tram: race, politics and citizenship in Britain Race relations in Britain have come a long way. Or have they? A recent article by Paul Gilroy, Professor of American and English Literature at King’s College London, examines class, race, citizenship and multiculturalism in modern Britain. He argues that the ways we deal with and understand these concepts are out-dated, and that new approaches are desperately needed. The greatest place to be a Martian: Australia? Would Martians feel at home in Australia? Recent research has proven that if Martians took a holiday to Australia they might feel more at home than you'd think. Associate Professor Patrice F. Rey (University of Sydney) has recently exposed a unique set of attributes suggesting that the Australian red centre could be a close analogue for the surface of the red planet – and how this unusual weathering has led to the formation of Australia's opals. Cholera Satnav - How satellites could be used to devise a warning system against the disease Cholera remains one of the most prevalent water-related infections in many tropical regions of the world, specifically coastal areas of South Asia, Africa, and Latin America... A recent study in Remote Sensing Letters emphasizes and explores the potential of satellite remote sensing data on the occurrence of cholera in regions where the disease is seasonally endemic and reliable data is not available. New Research challenges Wren’s insect illustrations Christopher Wren has long been assumed to be the author of some of Micrographia's insect pictures. Mark Jervis presents a reasoned argument against that view in his paper 'Robert Hooke's Micrographia: an entomologist's perspective'. Experts debate the meaning and inevitability of cyber warfare In 2012 the Journal of Strategic Studies published several ground-breaking articles on the emerging threat of cyber warfare. These articles, and indeed the concept of cyber warfare per se, proved controversial. Twelve months on, the current issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies presents a "cyber roundtable" where experts respond to criticisms and further expand the debate to develop a clearer definition of "cyber warfare" and to explore whether or not it is a significant threat. Kudos partners with Royal Society of Chemistry and Taylor & Francis to help authors increase the impact and usage of their research Kudos, a start-up that provides a cross-publisher service to help researchers maximize the usage and impact of published articles, has today announced the launch of a pilot phase in which it is partnering with Taylor & Francis and the Royal Society of Chemistry. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics Turns 100 - CRC Press Celebrates a Milestone CRC Press, a leading science, technology and medical (STM) publisher, is pleased to announce the 100th anniversary of its flagship publication, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. David Beckham's Impact on Visiting Countries - Sport vs Celebrity Status With David Beckham hanging up his boots and retiring from playing football, here at Routledge Sport we take a closer look at his sporting career and legacy. The article ‘When Becks came to Sydney: multiple readings of a sport celebrity’ (Soccer & Society, vol. 11, issue 3) has now been made free to access. It analyses the social and cultural effects of a 2007 Beckham visit to Australia , revealing how his carefully orchestrated, almost Hollywood-like appearances tapped into a multitude of burning issues relevant to Australian sporting culture and Australian identity in general. Cancer and birth defects in Iraq: the nuclear legacy Ten years after the Iraq war of 2003 a team of scientists based in Mosul, northern Iraq, have detected high levels of uranium contamination in soil samples at three sites in the province of Nineveh which, coupled with dramatically increasing rates of childhood cancers and birth defects at local hospitals, highlight the ongoing legacy of modern warfare to civilians in conflict zones. The US shale-gas revolution and European renewables: divergence and cooperation in alternative energy That the United States and Europe have been following different energy policies over the past few decades won’t come as a surprise. However, according to one researcher, their divergence – with the US leading ‘the shale gas revolution’ and Europe investing heavily in modern renewables – is a good thing for the development of both alternative-energy sources. Is the public trust in government in terminal decline? Trust in government is perceived to be crucial to democracy, but there is growing anxiety in some countries – principally the UK and the United States – that public trust is declining dramatically. Should citizens be worried? Would more referendums enhance public trust? And what are the implications for politicians and researchers? Leading academics from the US and Europe debate the “trust gap” in the current issue of the Journal of Trust Research. Binge drinking Britain: Will setting a minimum price per unit help change Britain’s drinking habits? New research has questioned whether the government’s plan to set a minimum price per unit on alcohol will actually help curb binge drinking. Routledge/Taylor & Francis Develops Partnership with the Society of Actuaries Routledge is proud to partner with the Society of Actuaries to publish the North American Actuarial Journal in 2013. Would you 'Like' a drink? Youth drinking cultures, social networking and alcohol marketing Preventing alcohol abuse, especially among young people, has long been a focus of public-health campaigns. But despite the well-publicised social and medical consequences of drinking too much it’s clear that for many, heavy drinking has become a normal part of life. Super-sized citizens: the relationship between a country’s fast-food outlets and its obesity rates Many studies have linked the meals served at fast-food outlets to obesity, but is there a relationship between the number of restaurants in a country and the girth of its population? Taylor & Francis survey: authors value rigorous peer review, even if it takes time In the sixth in a series of Press Releases on the themes and findings of the Open Access Survey, Taylor & Francis investigates authors' preferred methods of peer review suitable for their research. Taylor & Francis / Routledge journals, including those that are part of the Open programme, benefit from Editor-led rigorous peer review and we wanted to understand the value and importance of this service to our author base. Protecting hospitals from ‘new’ terrorist threats Most academic studies of terrorism threats concentrate on how health care services plan for and respond to mass-casualty terrorism attacks that may occur elsewhere in a city. However, writing in the latest issue of the journal Public Management Review, researchers Denis Fischbacher-Smith and Moira Fischbacher-Smith warn that health care managers, hospital designers and urban planners, as well as regulating authorities and national government, need to reassess their “Western-centric” view that terrorists are unlikely to attack these health care services, particularly given evidence from attacks on other public buildings and services such as schools and transport systems. Museum find proves exotic 'big cat' prowled British countryside a century ago The rediscovery of a mystery animal in a museum’s underground storeroom proves that a non-native 'big cat' prowled the British countryside at the turn of the last century. The Open Access Dichotomy among authors in Taylor & Francis survey Authors agree that publication should not be limited by the ability to pay, but all research outputs should be free to read online. In the fifth in a series of Press Releases on the themes and findings of the Open Access Survey, Taylor & Francis investigates authors’ attitudes and values relating to the communication of research when publishing in Open Access Journals. Maternal love protects against ill effects of strict discipline The use of harsh discipline of unwanted behaviour in children has long been controversial. Whether verbal (insults, disparaging remarks, threats) or physical (slapping/spanking), harsh discipline at all stages of childhood carries a large risk of manifesting antisocial 'externalising behaviours' in the child, including aggression, delinquency or hyperactivity. But a new study published in the journal Parenting: Science and Practice suggests that these painful effects of harsh discipline can be moderated by the child’s feelings of being loved by their mother. The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident: two years on, the fallout continues More than two years after the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan, scientists are still trying to quantify the extent of the damage. Of particular importance is determining just how much hazardous material escaped into the atmosphere from the stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in the period following the disaster on 11 March 2011. Tourists trust based on Social Media and the Web
Does social medial and internet based information sources such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs and many
more influence our decision on where we travel and how we share our experiences with others?
Taylor & Francis authors believe in fundamental benefits of OA but are less sure of citation advantage In the fourth in a series of Press Releases on the themes and findings of the Open Access Survey, Taylor & Francis explores authors' perceptions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of Open Access (OA). 94% of journals published by Taylor & Francis / Routledge now comply with Research Councils UK (RCUK) and Wellcome Trust mandates The Wellcome Trust and RCUK’s open access (OA) policies came into effect on 1 April 2013, and Taylor & Francis are pleased to announce that over 1,650 of the journals that we publish now comply with these mandates, over 500 of which are published on behalf of society partners. A human right to land: Globalizations leads the way with an alternative approach to land grabbing A timely new article, published in Globalizations, argues that the right to land should be established as a human right under international law, in order to combat the growing issue of land grabbing and its impact on rural communities. European Journal of Sport Science accepted into MEDLINE by the U.S National Library of Medicine Taylor & Francis are delighted to announce that the European Journal of Sport Science, published on behalf of the European College of Sport Science (www.ecss.de) has been accepted into MEDLINE by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. This development is a reflection and acknowledgement of the hard work and commitment to the journal from the ECSS itself, the Editorial team and journal authors. The official MEDLINE celebration will be held at the ECSS conference in Barcelona in June, with a pre-announcement at American College of Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Indianapolis in May. Planning Theory & Practice on the role of planning for flooding and adapting to flood risk: Living with flood risk In this issue of Planning Theory & Practice, our Interface section explores a shift from a 'keep flood water out' approach towards a long-term strategy of mitigating flood risk and increasing the resilience of our communities to flooding. Rather than simply ensuring 'community bounce back' in the aftermath of flooding, this Interface shows us the importance of transforming the built environment in the face of uncertain risk. Planning Theory & Practice on the many places where planning happens: The Neglected Places of Practice Writing in this issue of Planning Theory & Practice (14:1), Robert Beauregard, in his article The Neglected Places of Practice, uses a case study of the siting of a sanitary land-fill to explore how the planning decisions involving the site were scattered across meeting rooms, public auditoria, legislative chambers, consultant offices, legal firms, and even the U.S. Congress. Article Pass - the right research at the right time - the new sales model from Taylor & Francis Taylor & Francis is pleased to announce a new sales model– the Taylor & Francis Article Pass!

Taylor & Francis survey reveals that commercial re-use of their work would be unacceptable to most authors In the third in a series of Press Releases on the themes and findings of the Open Access Survey, Taylor & Francis investigates authors' attitudes and values relating to the dissemination of their research when publishing in Open Access Journals. Should GPS tracking be used on all tourists to enable a better experience and tourism sustainability in the future? Taylor & Francis survey reveals clear need for author choice of licensing options for Open Access publication of their articles In a survey conducted by Taylor & Francis, authors were canvassed about their opinions and behaviour about licensing, reuse, peer review and metrics in relation to Open Access. (OA) In the second of a series of Press Releases on the themes and findings of this OA Survey, Taylor & Francis investigate what authors think about licensing options when publishing in Open Access Journals. Calls for greater awareness of potentially fatal Lyme disease Potentially deadly to humans, Lyme disease is a high-profile vector-borne infection that is increasing in significance in the UK and consequently impacting on countryside planning and management. With more people working or recreating in the countryside, there is a need for land-based organisations to manage potential risks. New species of fox discovered at Malapa site in South Africa The fossils of an extinct species of fox discovered at the Malapa site in Gauteng, South Africa, have recently been confirmed as a new species named Vulpes skinneri. The paper 'A new species of fox from the Australopithecus sediba type locality, Malapa, South Africa', recently published in Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, describes the fossils of the new discovery and compares with a broad sample of other modern and fossil foxes and determines that these specimens are distinct enough to be referred to a new species. Xbox Live: real racism in a virtual world The United Nations' (UN) International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed on 21st March each year. Issues of race in gaming aren’t often discussed – but a study in the current issue of the New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia tackles the subject head-on. Two-headed butterfly foils attacks by the jumping spider The deflection of attack from vital organs to the wing margin is regarded as an important adaptation in hairstreak butterflies. However, this "lose-little-to-save-much" strategy akin to the detachable lizard's tail had never been tested experimentally. The present study tests the "false head" hypothesis by exposing a hairstreak butterfly, Calycopis cecrops, as well as many other Lepidoptera species as controls, to the attacks of the jumping spider, Phidippus pulcherrimus. Over 14,700 authors respond to Taylor & Francis Open Access Survey! In response to the seismic shift in the publishing landscape brought on by Open Access (OA), Taylor & Francis asked our author community for their views and their behaviour related to Open Access. We received 14,769 responses. This feedback will help publishers understand authors’ needs and inform the development of our policies, both in terms of OA, and more widely.

Was the apprehension of the Birmingham suicide bombers inevitable? Using research from the journal, Behavioural Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression and its creation of a Terrorist Attack Complexity Index we look at the planned Birmingham bombings and ask: how predictable was the operation and its subsequent prevention; and are complex terrorist operations no longer viable? Solution offered to prevent global spread of Schmallenberg virus in livestock Following on from media reports in the UK that the Schmallenberg virus (SBV) had been diagnosed in wild deer, a recent study in New Zealand Veterinary Journal describes how spread of the infection could be suppressed with tighter border controls around the world.

When it comes to love, men are the biggest risk takers. How far would you go to get the attention of the one you love? According to a recent study it seems that given a romantic opportunity, men are willing to take big risks in getting attention from the opposite sex, and what’s more it’s all down to evolution. "Unlucky in (frog) Love": Functional necrophilia: a profitable anuran reproductive strategy? Sex is a risky business for many animals. Those who take part in 'explosive breeding' – where many males gather and compete for a small number of females over a few days – have it particularly tough. Males can become exhausted from the competition and search for a scarce mate, or from trying to dislodge other males from receptive females. The females themselves can be unintentionally crushed, drowned or simply exhausted under the weight of their many suitors. Ziziphora effective in the battle against gastric cancer Extract of essential oil bearing plant declared good candidate as anti-cancer agent. A recent publication in the journal Food and Agricultural Immunology investigating the effects of aloe vera, ginger, saffron and ziziphora extracts as herbal remedies for gastric cancer suggests that the latter may be effective in the treatment of the fourth most common form of the disease. "Fox Tots Attack Shock": Urban Foxes, Mass Media and Boundary-Breaching On June 7, 2010, UK media outlets reported that 9-month-old twins living in East London had been rushed to hospital following a "suspected fox attack": the babies had been seriously injured. This story received sustained coverage for several months, and became the focus of debate over the behavior of urban foxes, and how they and humans should coexist. Skateboarders Good for the Environment City-based youths considered agents of environmental change, appropriating and redefining built environments through the everyday practice of skateboarding. New Research on Flavonoids and Nutritional Health in Older Adults Routledge Journals is pleased to announce a Special Issue from the Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics focusing on the impact of flavonoids on the nutritional health of older adults.

Breaking research published in the Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics indicates a possible new direction for the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Possible link between electronic billboards and highway crashes A new study published in Traffic Injury Prevention has found that drivers take more and longer glances at electronic billboards than regular signs, indicating a possible link between these digital signs and highway crashes. Of Course the Tooth Fairy’s Real: How Parents Lie in the US and China Almost everyone teaches their children that lying is always wrong.
