This study aims to assess the use, cost and impact of open access diffusion in the context of global health research.  Although OA does not ensure full knowledge transfer from research to practice, limiting public access can negatively impact implementation and outcomes of health policy and reduce public understanding of health issues.

A survey suggests that achievement invokes gendered stereotypes that penalize women for having good grades, creating unequal returns to academic performance at labor market entry.

Some evidence showing that the more revisions a paper undergoes, the greater its subsequent recognition in terms of citation impact.

The total number of science podcasts was found to have grown linearly between 2004 and 2010, but between 2010 and 2018 the number of science podcast has grown exponentially.

Publons reveals which countries have the most - and the most prolific - female peer reviewers.

A survey focusing on the functions and working process of consortia, as well as on the conditions of contracts for big deals concerning scientific periodicals, databases, and e-books. The results of the survey show that consortia broadly represent the interests of relevant stakeholders from the university and library sectors and are largely driven by researchers’ needs.

Using WoS as a universalistic tool for research assessment can disadvantage science published in journals with adequate editorial standards and scientific merit.
