Geog. 100 Sec. 01, 03, 40 Fall 2017 Elements of Geography Example of (Author Year) In-Text Citations MSU-Mankato Schmid Soil Development Hans Jenny (1941; 1980) identified five major independent variables that control the way the soil in a given ecosystem will develop. Each soil profile and its chemical and physical characteristics can therefore be thought of as a function of the processes resulting from the interaction of the five major soil forming factors: climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time. The extrinsic variables of climate, parent material, time, topography, and organisms form the heart of soil formation. Muhs (1984) was one of the first geographers to point out that intrinsic thresholds can be more important than the widely accepted extrinsic factors in controlling soil instability. Intrinsic variables are those internal variables involved within the development of a soil profile, including the translocation of materials such as clay particles, organic matter, and carbonates. Thresholds in soil development are similar to thresholds in other sub-fields of geomorphology (Schumm 1979). A pedologic threshold is reached when soil development is interrupted by intrinsic changes in soil morphology, chemistry, mineralogy, or by a change in one of the extrinsic soil-forming factors (Muhs 1984). For example, translocation of materials within the soil profile usually proceeds downward, developing horizonation through the processes associated with water movement due to gravity. If either carbonates or clays accumulate to a degree great enough to impede the downward movement, the entire translocation process may take on a horizontal, or even upward component. Johnson and Watson-Stegner’s (1987) model of soil development addresses the complexity of soils through a dual path of soil development. Their model recognizes that soils may develop progressively with the formation of distinct horizons, while at other times soils may develop retrogressively as changes in the geomorphic environment lead to a Geog. 100 Sec. 01, 03, 40 Fall 2017 Elements of Geography Example of (Author Year) In-Text Citations MSU-Mankato Schmid homogenization of the soil profile rather than to horizonation. Any one soil can alternate between progressive and retrogressive development, recording the changes in geomorphic processes within the soil’s profile as a type of stratigraphic history. Soils and Vegetation Research in the Rocky Mountains of North America and the European Alps documents that tree invasion of alpine tundra is linked to episodes of warmer temperatures (Kearney 1981; Weisberg and Baker 1995; Tinner, Ammann, and Germann 1996; Ammann et al. 2000; Yu and Wright 2001). Many researchers believe that conifers do not reproduce by seed production in this extreme tundra environment, but rather are restricted to vegetative reproduction (Weisberg and Baker 1995; Cairns and Malanson 1997). Individual tree seedlings can only establish during periods of more favorable climatic conditions. References Cited Ammann, Brigitta, H. J. B. Birks, Stephen J.

GEOG 100 Sec. 01, 03, & 40 Out-of-Class Exercise Due: Monday, November 20th Elements of Geography Geographic Research in Scholarly Journals Exercise 4 MSU-Mankato Fall 2017 Schmid This exercise is designed to introduce you to the wealth of information available through research publications in scholarly journals. For this assignment you will focus on a geographic topic, but remember that regardless of your major, your discipline publishes research in scholarly journals. This aspect of library research should become invaluable to the rest of your career! So, learn and enjoy! Additional handouts on D2L to support this exercise include: ✓ Scholarly Journals MSU Mankato ✓ How to Find Scholarly Journal Articles ✓ Suggestions for Reviewing Journal Articles What you will learn from completing this exercise: • The difference between a peer-reviewed scholarly research journal and commercial magazine publications. • How to search for topics in the MSU electronic library databases. • How to use references cited in journal publications. What you will do to complete this exercise: You will locate, review, and summarize two separate publications:  First, find a professional research (scholarly) journal article that presents research on some geographic topic that has been published between 2016-2018. This is your primary article.  Second, locate one of the sources cited in your primary research article. 1) Summarize the research presented in your primary article. In your own words describe the main points. This can include such things as unique methodologies, new theories, results, discussion of controversy, etc. What did they do, where, and why? Be specific! See the D2L handout on Suggestions for Reviewing Journal Articles if you are not sure how to approach an article review. 2) In addition to your summary, list at least two questions that you have about your primary article. These could include basic assumptions that you don't understand or don't believe; or questions about the methodology or any theories or results generated by the author(s). 3) Summarize how your second source supports or relates to the primary article? Why did the author(s) choose to cite this source in their work? 4) Be sure to include a complete reference list of your primary article and the second source you discuss. Be sure to use (author year) in-text citations throughout your summaries to distinguish between your two sources. 5) Attach all of the following to the back of your summary pages: a) A pdf copy of the first page of your primary reference. This first page should include the abstract, title, and authors of your 2016-2018 research article. b) A pdf copy of the reference list from your primary article showing the complete reference for your second source. Do NOT print these pages from any type of article summary format---you need to download a pdf version of the article and print from that! c) A copy of the first page of your second source. The format for this will depend on what type of source you pick. If you pick another journal article, it will need to be a pdf copy. If you pick a book cited by your primary article, you will need to make a photocopy of the book’s first page. If you choose an on-line source, you will need to print a copy of the webpage. GEOG 100 Sec. 01, 03, & 40 Out-of-Class Exercise Due: Monday, November 20th Elements of Geography Geographic Research in Scholarly Journals Exercise 4 MSU-Mankato Fall 2017 Schmid Background Information and Requirements The article that you choose must be published in a refereed (scholarly, peer reviewed) research journal. Articles submitted for publication in refereed journals are reviewed by other scholars and are subject to revision or rejection. This process attempts to insure that only reliable, high quality research results are published. ✓ If you are unsure on how to search for an article, see the D2L handout on Scholarly Journals MSU Mankato and How to Find Scholarly Journal Articles, come to office hours, or ask the MSU Memorial Library reference librarians for help. Commercial magazines and trade journals are not suitable for this assignment. Commercial magazines such as National Geographic, Scientific American, and Geo World pay their staff or hire guest writers. Even though these magazine articles may contain good scientific information, they are not subject to the rigorous process of peer review. ✓ If the article does not have references cited within the text and a list of these cited references provided at the end of the article, it does not fulfill the requirements of this assignment. ✓ If the source you are using includes numerous color glossy photographs, chances are it is a commercial magazine, not a research journal. Please check with me, or a librarian, if you are not sure about your source. ✓ This link will take you to a tutorial about scholarly research publications: http://libguides.mnsu.edu/content.php?pid=202797&sid=1775732 You should also be aware that many professional journals contain portions that are not research summaries. Your article cannot be an editorial, a book review, or any other general article review. Again, if you are not sure about what you have found, please ask for help. Format Details No page limits, but you should have a minimum of two double-spaced pages, a 500 word minimum, plus your attachments. Use the proper required format for all Fall 2017 GEOG 100 exercises and turn in a printed copy by November 20th. Grading Criteria (25 pts): Appropriate format and content Detailed summary of your 2016-2018 primary article (#1 & 2) Discussion of source cited in your primary article (#3) Complete bibliography and citation of all sources used (#4 required format) Copy of first page of 2016-2018 article (#5a) Copy of 2016-2017 reference list with second summary citation (#5b) Copy of the first page of your second source (#5c) 3 pts 7 pts 4 pts 5 pts 2 pts 2 pts 2 pts 25 points Geog. 100 - Sec. 01, 03, & 40 Fall 2017 Elements of Geography How to Find Scholarly Journal Articles MSU-Mankato Schmid Geography Topics You will need to think of a topic that relates to something geographical. It can be something we have talked about in class, a geographic topic you are studying in another class, or some other geographic topic you are interested in learning more about. If you have a project in another class that includes a geographic component, you can use this exercise to find a research article that relates to your project. How to Search You search for scholarly professional research journal articles just like you search for any other topic online—you just need to conduct the search within an article database. A general web search (like a Google™ web search) usually is not an efficient way to access scholarly research. You will need to find an article that gives you access to the full text, so MSU Memorial Library article databases are your best choice. If you do not already have a favorite MSU article database, you can access MSU’s Memorial Library online databases through either of the following library links in the left-hand menu on the library’s homepage: Article Databases A-Z Class & Subject Guides Article Databases A-Z (Alphabetical) This works best if you already know the name of the database you want to use. Class & Subject Guides Check the different disciplines covered and choose one of their suggested databases. For this exercise you may want to use Geography and Earth Science, or one for your discipline/major. Note: If you are working from home, or another non-university connection, you will be asked to log-in as an MSU user. Use your normal MSU login, and this will identify you as a paid subscriber to those databases. Examples of online MSU databases (available through Article Databases A-Z) for geographic research include: Academic Search Premier Biological Sciences Environment Index GeoRef GeoScienceWorld ScienceDirect Taylor & Frances Online Wiley Online Library Geog. 100 - Sec. 01, 03, & 40 Fall 2017 Elements of Geography How to Find Scholarly Journal Articles MSU-Mankato Schmid Another good MSU Library search option is to use the MavScholar search on the library’s home page. You can search for your topic through MavScholar just like you would conduct a web search. Once you have entered your search term, you can use the left-hand menu to narrow your search to peer reviewed journal articles. If the search engine or database you are using does not provide full text articles or direct links to full text sources, use the Journals List search option on the MSU Library home page. Type in the title of the journal (spelled correctly with no abbreviations) and it will tell you which MSU library databases carry that particular journal (see the screen capture below): To locate a specific journal in MSU’s Memorial Library article databases, ✓ go the library home page ✓ select the Journals List option ✓ type in the title of the journal you want to locate lib.mnsu.edu Scholarly-Popular-Trade Journals Journals and magazines are important sources for up-to-date information in all disciplines. With a periodical collection as diverse as Memorial Library’s, it is often difficult to distinguish between the various levels of scholarship found in the collection. This guide has divided the criteria for periodical literature into three categories. Scholarly Journals… are written by scholars or researchers in the field cite sources in the form of footnotes or bibliographies are also called research-based, peer-reviewed, or refereed journals are often text-based, sometimes with graphs and charts, but with few glossy pages or pictures Popular Magazines… are usually very short and journalistic in style, written designed for the average reader often glossy and attractive in appearance with many photographs rarely cite sources. Information published is often secondhand and the original source is sometimes obscure. Trade Journals… are published by commercial enterprises, professional associations, or educational groups are often written by an editorial board, a scholar or a free lance writer are geared toward specific audiences such as brokers, teachers, or executives Differentiating between Scholarly-Popular-Trade Journals Sometimes a journal or magazine cannot be defined by one or two features nor do all features have to be present to make it a “scholarly” journal. Look for a majority of the traits listed above. If in doubt, ask your instructor or a librarian. SCHOLARLY JOURNALS NOTES AUDIENCE PAGE LENGTH ADS Includes notes and/or bibliography Written for experts, shows research Usually more than 5 pages Few or none; if any, advertising books and other "scholarly" items Mostly text and charts LOOK LOCATION EXAMPLE TITLES Usually only available in a library MAGAZINES TRADE JOURNALS Few references or no bibliography Written for average reader Often includes footnotes or bibliographies Written for readers in a specific trade or field of study Often less than 5 pages Often less than 5 pages Many, often in color Glossy, many pictures often in color Title can be found at newsstand or grocery store New England Journal of Newsweek, Maxim, Medicine, Journal of Time, Good Modern History Housekeeping Many, but focus toward companies rather than the average consumer Maybe in glossy, magazine format, although some are in newspaper format.

Remember that reviewing an article does not mean you can plagiarize it! Do NOT copy any portion of the text into your review. The purpose of a review is to learn new information and analyze what the authors did in completing their research. You need to summarize what you have learned in your own words! **Do not expect that you will be able to understand every single aspect and detail of academic research publications! Even experts in the same research area will often extract only portions of these publications for their own use. Focus on the parts you do understand. You should expect to be introduced to new vocabulary and concepts. That is what learning is all about. You do not have to summarize everything in the article, but you should be able to identify some important concepts and conclusions.** The following suggestions have been adapted from: Paul, Richard and Linda Elder. 2007. The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking: Concepts and Tools. Dillon Beach, CA: Foundation for Critical Thinking. Consider the following while reading and reviewing your chosen articles: (To consider something does not mean you should copy and paste these suggestions directly into your summary!) 1. What is the main purpose of the article? 2. What is the key question the authors are trying to answer? 3. What is some of the more important information presented by the authors? 4. What are the main conclusions? 5. What key concepts did you need to learn to understand this article (new vocabulary, etc.)? 6. What implications or applications do you think this research could have?

SUMMARY OF TEMPERATURE INDUCED DETERIORATION MECHANISMS
IN MUDSTONE DURING DRY-WET CYCLES JOURNAL.
A study by Ming, Jianbo, Zhang, and Runze (2017) tried to explore the rate at which
Mudstone deteriorates during various temperatures which occur in dry and wet cycles.
This involves experiments with the main objective being the determination of decay
rate of Mudstone in different conditions of temperature. It was hypothesized that the
expansion and opening of the rock elements and conduits are caused by natural and
anthropogenic factors. In relation to this study, numerous books were cited in support
of th...
