This PrimeView highlights best practices for shell isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy, with a focus on factors that can affect the workflow.
This PrimeView highlights some applications of participatory action research where local ownership of research is valued and supported by social movements.
Low pay, job insecurity, bullying and harassment all contribute to academic researchers reporting above-average levels of anxiety and depression. Institutions can improve working environments by looking at best practice elsewhere.
