41. Optimising sample preparation for FTIR-based microplastic analysis in wastewater and sludge samples: multiple digestions

    These are the kinds of articles we try to highlight in our project. Authors realized a gap in Science and they tried to fill it up. In this case, they face the complexity of comparison between microplastic analysis in different samples, environments or types of plastic due to a non uniformity of methods existing. This issue could be not as sexy as others, but it is also crucial in plastic research. We hope you like it and appreciate the deep detail they got into in the article.

The Materials & Methods Section Crossroads

Image
Hello, the project of Science Audio Articles is drawing its shape. At this point, we think the product is recognisable, which happens after only a few months and we are proud of it. The idea of creating this was flying around, but when you start laying down the thoughts, everything becomes more complicated. We are very committed to the philosophy of continuous growth, so it is an exciting process. In the near future, there will be a lot of things to polish and decisions to take, but in this post we want to talk about one: the Materials & Methods section crossroads.  We will start with a bit of context, as you know, there exist different kinds of scientific literature, Systematic Reviews, Perspectives Articles, Brief Reports, Clinical Cases, etc, and every one has its particular structure, extension rules and goals. So far, we have been focused on Original Researchers paper -despite we have already published some Review’s audio-, which usually are divided in sections namely Summary,

Whom is Science Audio Articles for?

Image
Hello! It’s been an exciting month with a generous growth of Science Audio Articles since we started sharing audios in spanish; this was only one possible objective at the beginning of our project, but the truth is this way is working and has plenty of possibilities. We have defined our product a little bit more by listening to our audience. Before our project took off, it was important to think about some characteristics, from the language used for the articles to the style of the podcasts, knowing that all the predictions could change during the development of it. Another aspect is to think of the target of people that would be interested in your product and today we are going to share ours, but at the end you will realize that there are always surprises and the predictions never score right in the middle.  Due to the highly specialized topics we bring to the platform, we thought that our main audience would be researchers of that particular area. For example, if we are talking about
