  Title Evaluating a European knowledge hub on climate change in agriculture: Are we building a better connected community Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication Scientometrics Abbreviated Journal Scientometrics  
  Volume 109 Issue 2 Pages 1057-1074  
  Keywords Agriculture; Climate change; Interdisciplinary collaboration; Co-authorship; networks; EU research policy; Collaborative funding initiatives; Knowledge hub  
  Abstract In order to maintain food security and sustainability of production under climate change, interdisciplinary and international collaboration in research is essential. In the EU, knowledge hubs are important funding instruments for the development of an interconnected European Research Area. Here, network analysis was used to assess whether the pilot knowledge hub MACSUR has affected interdisciplinary collaboration, using co-authorship of peer reviewed articles as a measure of collaboration. The broad community of all authors identified as active in the field of agriculture and climate change was increasingly well connected over the period studied. Between knowledge hub members, changes in network parameters suggest an increase in collaborative interaction beyond that expected due to network growth, and greater than that found in the broader community. Given that interdisciplinary networks often take several years to have an impact on research outputs, these changes within the relatively new MACSUR community provide evidence that the knowledge hub structure has been effective in stimulating collaboration. However, analysis showed that knowledge hub partners were initially well-connected, suggesting that the initiative may have gathered together researchers with particular resources or inclinations towards collaborative working. Long term, consistent funding and ongoing reflection to improve networking structures may be necessary to sustain the early positive signs from MACSUR, to extend its success to a wider community of researchers, or to repeat it in less connected fields of science. Tackling complex challenges such as climate change will require research structures that can effectively support and utilise the diversity of talents beyond the already well-connected core of scientists at major research institutes. But network research shows that this core, well-connected group are vital brokers in achieving wider integration.

  Title Assessing plant health in a network of experiments on hardy winter wheat varieties in France: patterns of disease-climate associations Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication European Journal of Plant Pathology Abbreviated Journal Eur. J. Plant Pathol.  
  Volume 146 Issue Pages 741-755  
  Keywords Puccinia triticina; Puccinia striiformis; Fusarium graminearum; Fusarium culmorum; Fusarium avenaceum; Blumeria graminis; Zymoseptoria tritici; Categorical data; Risk factor; Multiple pathosystem; Correspondence analysis; Logistic regression  
  Abstract A data set generated by a multi-year (2003–2010) and multi-site network of experiments on winter wheat varieties grown at different levels of crop management is analysed in order to assess the importance of climate on the variability of wheat health. Wheat health is represented by the multiple pathosystem involving five components: leaf rust, yellow rust, fusarium head blight, powdery mildew, and septoria tritici blotch. An overall framework of associations between multiple diseases and climate variables is developed. This framework involves disease levels in a binary form (i.e. epidemic vs. non-epidemic) and synthesis variables accounting for climate over spring and early summer. The multiple disease-climate pattern of associations of this framework conforms to disease-specific knowledge of climate effects on the components of the pathosystem. It also concurs with a (climate-based) risk factor approach to wheat diseases. This report emphasizes the value of large scale data in crop health assessment and the usefulness of a risk factor approach for both tactical and strategic decisions for crop health management.
