Asking whether Twitter allows scientists to promote their findings primarily to other scientists ("inreach"), or whether it can help them reach broader, non-scientific audiences ("outreach"). Results should encourage scientists to invest in building a social media presence for scientific outreach.
How a process designed to ensure scientific rigor is tainted by randomness, bias, and arbitrary delays.
If only I had known then what I know now, 16 years later, this is what I would have told myself.
Supporting the EUA membership with the development of research assessment approaches that focus on research quality, potential and future impact, and that take into account Open Science practices.
Techniques for overcoming the challenges of open manuscript writing.
New interface shifts from journal metrics to journal intelligence, offering richer data and greater transparency for comprehensive assessment.
What are researchers to do when they lose confidence in their previously published work? A new project has an answer. Will it help the replication crisis?
In the 1990s, the Internet offered a horizon from which to imagine what society could become, promising autonomy and self-organization next to redistribution of wealth and collectivized means of production. While the former was in line with the dominant ideology of freedom, the latter ran contrary to the expanding enclosures in capitalist globalization.

eLife is conducting a trial in which authors will decide how to respond to the issues raised during peer review.
This free tool helps you shortlist verified open access journals from DOAJ for publishing your manuscript thereby safeguarding you from predatory journals.
Polling shows that the number of people who believe science has "made life more difficult" increased by 50 percent from 2009 to 2015.
A heuristic (exploratory) comparison of several new, free / mainstream academic search tools, concluding that their effectivness improves if an institution's library licenses them for off-campus authentication.
Some of the field’s most notable thinkers call on the American Psychiatric Association to permit discussion of public figures' mental health in some cases.
There is an urgent need to strengthen funding for the interaction between science and society, but the EU's proposal for Horizon Europe does not foresee a programme dedicated to Science with and for Society.
A reflection as the seventh editor-in-chief of Nature hands over to the eighth.
Even after a paper’s retracted, it will continue to be cited - often by researchers who don’t realize the findings are problematic.
What’s the scientific value of the Stanford Prison Experiment? Zimbardo responds to the new allegations against his work.
As someone with a deep appreciation of education and expertise, it’s troubling to know that college is just one more locus of skulduggery, veiled and overt.
Oliver says gene editing is "going to cure all disease or kill every last one of us".
There appears to be no realistic path forward that achieves Europe's 2020 open access targets without resulting in substantial revenue reductions for existing publishers. Will Europe miss its OA target? Or will publishers miss their revenue targets?
A group of open science advocates have launched the first preprint aimed exclusively at African scientists. The free, online outlet is one of a growing number for academics on the continent to share their work.
The same gender disparity goes for politicians, athletes, and other high-profile figures
A growing gap exists between an academic sector with little capacity for collective action and increasing demand for routine performance assessment by research organizations and funding agencies. This gap has been filled by database providers. By selecting and distributing research metrics, these commercial providers have gained a powerful role in defining de-facto standards of research excellence without being challenged by expert authority.
