This is a friendly reminder of the existence of the journal Frontiers for Young Minds, which features articles that are not only interesting but also very accessible to all audiences, while remaining rigorous. Also published under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY).

Frontiers for Young MindsFrontiers for Young MindsFrontiers for Young Minds is an open-access scientific journal written by scientists and reviewed by a board of kids and teens.

"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" is a song performed by #Journey, recorded for their album #Frontiers and released as a single in January 1983. It peaked at number eight for six consecutive weeks on the #Billboard Hot 100 chart, and spent four weeks at number one on the #TopTracks chart. The song is also well known for its use in the films #YesMan, #TronLegacy, and in #seasonFour of #StrangerThings. To accompany the song on #MTV, the band shot its first concept video.

This came as a response to my post on the heat (with "For What It's Worth") & the #TrumpVirus warmongering & madness:

> "Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it"

yup

All hail our Führer, Toddler King of #Brainspurs, slayer of #Truth, rights, & #respect...

> We're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout....
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears

Frontiers is doing an immense job of publishing articles that are very understandable to almost anyone. Other publications should take note.

In this case, you can read the introduction and discussion and get much better information than from any press release about the study.

#Frontiers also have a publication for young minds that includes several articles on #microplastics.

FrontiersFrontiers | The knowns and unknowns in our understanding of how plastics impact climate change: a systematic review

Since last November I received almost 20 requests to review <we-do-xyz> with #AI in #AR/#VR request by the editors of the VR journal on #frontiers, once driven by reputable colleagues. That seemingly has changed. Just the headlines of theses papers are so gross and intellectually offputting, its beyond believe. One paper, in this list, and we talk about CS, had 24 authors, basically the whole graduation class.
My final conclusion leave #frontiers and delete the account.

"Only the Young" is a song written by #JonathanCain, #StevePerry and #NealSchon of the band #Journey. Previously intended for Journey's 1983 album #Frontiers, it was pulled from the album within days of recording in favor of songs "Back Talk" and "Troubled Child". It was then sold to the band #Scandal, who released it in 1984 on their album #Warrior, as the first commercially released version of the song.

hal.univ-lille.frNew Frontiers of Electronic Theses and DissertationsBackground: Since the 1990s, theses and dissertations-a key part of scientific communication-have evolved significantly with advances in information and communication technologies. ( 2) Methods: This study reviews 99 publications examining these changes, drawing insights from international conferences and empirical studies in the field. (3) Results: Historically, a major challenge in managing PhD theses has been the shift to electronic formats, resulting in the creation of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). This shift involves four main tasks: adopting new digital formats, updating institutional workflows between departments, graduate schools, and academic libraries, implementing updated bibliographic standards (such as metadata and identifiers), and utilizing new tools and channels for distribution. With open science becoming a widespread research policy across many countries and institutions, ensuring open access for ETDs is an added challenge-though a substantial portion of ETD content remains restricted to institutional or library networks. Today, ETD management is on the brink of a new era, with advancements in data-driven science and artificial intelligence. (4) Conclusions: The development of ETDs varies significantly across different countries, regions, and institutions due to technological, organizational, and legal differences. It is essential for academic libraries and other stakeholders to address the challenges identified while considering these variations.
