With each IPCC report, the science basis around climate change increases extensively in terms of scope, depth, and complexity. In converting this knowledge into societal climate action, research organisations face the challenge of reforming themselves.
A new version of the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity has been published that includes guidance on artificial intelligence (AI), navigating EU data protection laws and how to approach changes to research impact assessments.
Narrative academic CVs present a means to bypass aspects of a research evaluation culture that is focused on the volume and venue of publications. 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.
