Drawing on work promoting this format, researchers show how these texts more often foreground the problems they are meant to address, than how the format works in practice.
There is a debate on shifting research away from biomedical treatments towards health promotion and well-being. This study examines if research agendas are responsive to these demands in cardiometabolic and mental health.
A new study shows that the publication records of research groups are not impacted following big changes in lab safety protocols.
What role can science play in fostering Global North-South and South-South partnerships?
Germany's oldest university hosts many scientists conducting groundbreaking work. Little did they know how they would become entangled in China's quantum military strategy.
