New service provides greater recognition for reviewers and their contributions to scholarly publishing. The role of the reviewer is vital. And as research output grows, more and more pressure is being put on reviewers to ensure quality articles are published as quickly as possible. But for such a crucial cog in the scholarly publishing wheel, their contribution is not always well acknowledged. To address this challenge and to give reviewers greater recognition for their work, Frontiers is partnering Clarivate on a new Reviewer Recognition Service....

Changes in scholarly publishing over the last 20 y include the emergence of preprint servers and the growth of OA. But other important changes have received less publicity. Richard Walker and Pascal Rocha da Silva discuss. Highly visible changes in scholarly publishing over the last twenty years include the emergence of preprint servers such as ArXiv, and the rapid growth of Open Access publishing. However, other equally important changes, many linked to the rise of Open Access, have received less publicity....

Gianfranco Spalletta leads new specialty on Aging Psychiatry in Frontiers in Psychiatry A new specialty on Aging Psychiatry in Frontiers in Psychiatry aims to find solutions to the problems faced by more than 20% of adults over 60 years old who the World Health Organization estimates are suffering from some form of mental or neurological disorder. “A prevention perspective (primary prevention) is one of the main topics that should be addressed within this section when it comes to investigating and validating early aging biomarkers –neuroimaging, genetics, biochemical, behavioral, and others– that will predict the risk of developing neuropsychiatric disorders in late-life,” says Dr....

By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer A new review shows that the soil in the cities of the ancient Maya are heavily polluted with mercury. As vessels filled with mercury and objects painted with cinnabar have been found at many Maya sites, the authors conclude that the Maya were heavy users of mercury and mercury-containing products. This resulted in severe and dangerous pollution in their day, which persists even today....

By Fernando Bolaños, Science Writer We know adjusting the thermostat, using blinds, opening windows or using electronics such as a heater or air conditioning unit has an impact on the amount of energy consumed in homes. But a new study looks at which of these is the most efficient when it comes to saving power. “I was interested to find the trends of energy use in typical households and to understand the consumer behavior and the reasons behind high and low energy consumption....

By Maryam Clark, science writer Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences. Imagine reliving your entire life in the space of seconds....

Dr. Martin G. Klotz is Professor & Chair of Biology at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, USA, and works on the genome-informed reconstruction of key catabolic pathways in chemolithotrophs. He is Field Chief Editor of Frontiers in Microbiology. What excites you about working as a Microbiologist? Microbiology has long become the testing grounds for new technologies and it has been instrumental for the emergence of hypotheses and theory. Today’s new “next-generation technologies” have afforded microbiologists (which are actually a collection of mathematicians, chemists, geologists, physicists and engineers) to stop doing what their original craft prescribes – reductionism – and to study microbes at the levels of their natural existence, namely in populations, communities and ecosystems....
