Enhancing climate resilience: A data-driven north rift weather prediction system for real-time forecasting and agricultural decision support by John W. Makokha, Peter W. Barasa, Geoffrey W. Khamala

“…By analyzing temporal variations in vegetation health and land degradation from 1995 to 2020, the study identifies a significant inverse relationship between NDVI and BSI, where increasing bare soil exposure corresponds to declining vegetation health. The analysis also reveals that climatic factors particularly temperature (minimum and maximum) and precipitation play a critical role in shaping these trends, with high temperatures after 2000 associated with reduced NDVI, while regions with higher precipitation show healthier vegetation and lower BSI. …”

Knowledge and motivations of researchers publishing in presumed predatory journals: a survey by David Moher, Agnes Grudniewicz, Kelly D Cobey, Manoj M Lalu, Danielle B Rice, Hana Raffoul

“…Objectives To develop effective interventions to prevent publishing in presumed predatory journals (ie, journals that display deceptive characteristics, markers or data that cannot be verified), it is helpful to understand the motivations and experiences of those who have published in these journals.Design An online survey delivered to two sets of corresponding authors containing demographic information, and questions about researchers' perceptions of publishing in the presumed predatory journal, type of article processing fees paid and the quality of peer review received. The survey also asked six open-ended items about researchers' motivations and experiences.Participants Using Beall’s lists, we identified two groups of individuals who had published empirical articles in biomedical journals that were presumed to be predatory.Results Eighty-two authors partially responded (~14% response rate (11.4%[44/386] from the initial sample, 19.3%[38/197] from second sample) to our survey. …”
