Geographical Biodiversity Development Open Access Articles

A simple way to measure biodiversity is to count the total number of species living in a particular area. Tropical regions, areas open all year round, have the most biodiversity. Temperate regions, which have hot summers and cold winters, have less biodiversity. Regions with cold or dry conditions, such as mountain peaks and deserts, have even fewer temperatures. Generally, the closer a region is to the equator, the greater the biodiversity. At least 40,000 different plant species live in the Amazon rainforest of South America, one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet. Some places in the world have a large number of endemics that only exist there. The Cape Floristic region of South Africa is home to approximately 6,200 plant species not found anywhere else in the world. Open access to scientific literature means removing barriers (including price barriers) to accessing academic work. There are two parallel paths to open access: open access articles and self-archiving. Open access articles are immediately and freely available on their website, a model funded mainly by fees paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is self-archiving, which is a practice authorized by many scholarly journals. Open Access raises practical and political questions for academics, publishers, funders and policymakers, including the return on investment when paying the cost of processing an article to be published in an open article, or if investments in institutional repositories must be made and if self-archiving should be made mandatory, as envisaged by some donors.
