SUMMARY:2023 CFWE Fall Seminar Series - Patricia Hartman
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Fall Seminar Series will feature Patricia Hartman\, Associate Professor at Auburn University Libraries. Hartman will give a talk titled “A very special issue: Problematic mega-publishers and open access” on Tuesday\, Oct. 3\, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, AL. \nHartman is hosted by Dr. Robert Gitzen\, Associate Professor in the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment. Hartman will address scholarly communication issues\, including open access and predatory publishing\, which are commonly associated with frustration\, confusion\, and misconceptions among scholars. The rise of mega-publishers further complicates matters by blurring lines between “reputable” and “predatory” journals. As Journal Impact Factors of mega-journals have increased\, so has scrutiny of hasty peer review practices and aggressive solicitation of manuscripts. This presentation will focus on recent patterns of publishing in MDPI and Frontiers journals by Auburn University scholars and discuss concerns relevant to the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment researchers faced with choosing potential journal outlets for their work. \nPatricia Hartman is an Associate Professor at Auburn University Libraries\, where she has served as the Subject Librarian for the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment as well as the Departments of Biological Sciences and Mathematics since 2013. Additionally\, she specializes in scholarly communications issues related to open access\, scholarly identity and federal funding mandates. Patricia received master’s degrees in Forestry and Wildlife and Library and Information Science from the University of Kentucky. \nFaculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar\, and CFEs are available upon request. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.

Dr. Davis will address the decline of mallards in eastern North America\, which may be partially explained by extensive hybridization with human-released domestically derived game-farm Mallards. This seminar will discuss the history of Mallards and other similar ducks in North America. Ramifications\, such as changes in morphology\, for wild mallards mating with game-farm Mallards will be discussed. \nDr. Davis is a native of St. Louis\, Missouri and has a B.S. in Wildlife Management\, from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Wildlife Science from Mississippi State University (MSU). He has held positions with the Missouri Department of Conservation\, California Waterfowl Association\, and Ducks Unlimited\, Inc. In 2009 he joined the faculty of the MSU Department of Wildlife\, Fisheries and Aquaculture\, where he currently holds the rank of Professor. His conservation and research interests focus on waterfowl and wetlands conservation. His research activities include a variety of duck species\, coastal marsh restoration (Louisiana)\, native bee use of wetlands\, ecosystem values of Wetland Reserve and other conservation lands\, shorebirds\, and waterbirds on aquaculture farms. \nFaculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar\, and CFEs are available upon request.
