As everyone shifts back into gear after the summer break, we have put together a list of research and innovation topics coming up over the next weeks and months, to help you sift through the deluge of announcements due in September and beyond.
The policy, hailed by researchers as “transformational,” will be fully in place by 2026 and make publicly financed research available immediately at no cost.
Contributory citizen science is a method in which non-professional participants contribute to data collection in whole or in part to advance scientific research. This Primer outlines the use of citizen science in the environmental and ecological sciences, discussing participant engagement, data quality assurance and bias correction.
A new study finds that Americans underestimate how many are concerned about climate change as well as support for major climate policies by nearly half, with climate policy supporters significantly outnumbering non-supporters.
The challenge of demonstrating the value of the humanities can never be fully accomplished by showing that the humanities serve other disciplines.

The infrared images, taken in July, capture unprecedented views of the biggest planet's storms, moon and surrounding rings
As a schoolboy, I put little effort into my homework. But a long night wrestling with Euclidean geometry led to a career in nuclear physics - and a more resilient personality
Climate change is projected to significantly alter the yield and price of wheat in the coming years. Prices for the grain are likely to change unevenly and increase in much of the Global South, enhancing existing inequalities.
People with the greatest opposition to the scientific consensus tend to have the lowest levels of objective science knowledge but the highest levels of self-rated knowledge.
The document, which was facilitated by the European Commission, establishes new benchmarks regarding how research assessments should be performed.
Britain has jeopardised research and made itself far less attractive to overseas scientists.
Findings show that countries in sub-Saharan Africa publish and cite open access literature at a higher rate than the rest of the world.
The Academy of Finland (AKA), Finland's major public research funding agency, uses a Web of Science (WoS) based bibliometric indicator to assess the performance of research it has funded. CRIS-based publication data can support multidimensional assessments of research performance and scholarly communication profiles, potentially also in other countries and institutions.
The UK government, raising the political heat over Brexit, began legal proceedings against the European Union for blocking its membership in the €95.5 billion research programme, Horizon Europe.
This article explores the effects and interrelationships of seven collaboration problems that arise in the context of the tension between cooperation and competition.
Lab-grown spinal cords and glowing fish larvae are among the images in an annual competition to find the best pictures taken under the microscope,
UC Berkeley scientists and students looked at current artificial intelligence translation systems and found that, though flawed, they have become good enough for researchers to broadly translate their work into other languages, at least the languages of the coauthors and the country in which the research was conducted. One problem: how to get permissions to translate and share, and where will these translations live online.
After Russia's invasion, politicians promised to boost military research funding - but policy specialists aren't convinced that a rapid change lies ahead.
