For scientists submitting their papers to journals, there’s an all-too-familiar drill: spend hours formatting the paper to meet the journal’s guidelines; if the paper is rejected, sink more time into reformatting it for another journal; repeat. Now an analysis has put a price tag on all that busy work.
Since being laid low with the virus more than a year ago, Catherine Heymans can only operate in half-hour bursts. But her work could still change the way we understand the universe
The current science system is unjust - from the systems that determine its membership to its outputs and outcomes. This article advocates for contextually responsive, collective action to build a more just science system.
Half of postdocs say they don’t have access to social security and many don’t have permanent contracts either. Now campaigners are putting pressure on the EU to lean on member states to improve working conditions for Europe’s young scientists.
We live in a society where scientific models surround us. They are used for everything from creating weather bulletins and making climate projections to providing economic forecasts and informing policies for public health.
There is an increasing focus in academic and policy circles on research-policy partnerships. These partnerships are often achieved through co-creation, whose role in international relations remains underdeveloped.
A groundbreaking analysis of safety and justice hopes to inform the next generation of sustainability policy.
EU ministers have called for a ‘no pay’ academic-publishing model that bears no cost to readers or authors. Some academics have welcomed the proposed plans - but publishing industry representatives warn they are unrealistic.
A decade on since their inception, Andy Tattersall considers how academics can make use of altmetrics in ways that go beyond counts and metrics.
Are science and technology policies targeted at early-stage technologies what is needed for net-zero emissions?
Many Big Science projects and networks experience conflict. Yet, so far, there is no theoretical model that explains which mechanisms connect conflict cause and outbreak in Big Science.
Funding agencies (FAs) have increasingly engaged in international cooperation agreements (ICAs) to encourage world-class research and achieve more promising outcomes in the context of increasing competition for research resources. While the benefits of International Research Collaboration are largely supported by literature, less attention was paid to the influence of ICA on scientific and technological outputs.
The European Commission plans to designate 100 locations across Europe as Regional Innovation Valleys, in a bid to strengthen innovation in EU priority areas and encourage collaboration between more and less advanced regions.
