The scientific community appears to have created a research environment where researchers either feel little point in writing up null results and/or struggle to publish such findings.

Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis, we show how different combinations of science, gender equality, and social policies interact to constitute five distinct national pathways for gender-fair early career progression. 

Federal funders of research are increasing the stringency of their expectations that researchers make data collected in federally funded projects publicly available.

Study finds the chatbot doesn’t acknowledge concerns with problematic studies.

Experts warn of undermining environment that fostered foundations of artificial intelligence as federal agencies hit.

Debates on contested emerging technologies illustrate how publics make sense of science and technology by making unexpected connections between scientific insights, values, hopes and fears.

Libraries are a central part of the academic system, which is increasingly embracing a range of approaches for tackling complex societal and environmental problems, including transdisciplinarity.

The review article explores the differences between university startup entrepreneurs and corporate entrepreneurs, and why the latter are more successful.

Making research evidence accessible and relevant to policymakers is one way that the scientific enterprise confers direct societal benefits.

Local authorities are expected to lead on net-zero delivery, irrespective of their capacity to do so. This paper addresses the extent to which they can act on climate change and how policy entrepreneurs can exert agency.

Intergovernmental science policy organizations assess and mediate knowledge for decision makers, especially their member governments. The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is known as a trailblazer in acknowledging plural knowledge systems because of the multiple evidence base approach it has adopted, which has challenged the older operating principles of credibility, policy relevance, and legitimacy. This paper juxtaposes those principles and the multiple evidence base to study their context-sensitive synergies and tensions, based on experts’ perceptions of IPBES operations.

This study identifies five turnarounds which could fundamentally alter humanity's trajectory: ending poverty, reducing inequality, empowering women, and transforming global food and energy systems.

This study asked UK policymakers if there are common topics for which evidence is requested over time that cut across government departments or agencies, and if there is a preferred style in the way evidence is requested?

Research on the conditions for effective engagement between research and policy demonstrates whether policymakers should be involved earlier in the creation of research projects.

New research by ESMT Berlin and Politecnico di Milano explores how non-experts assess scientific research proposals and reveals key implications for public participation in science funding.

A study published in Science finds that twice as much of the world’s glacier mass could be preserved by meeting the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

Peer review is crucial for academic communities to ensure high-quality research. Drawing on 39 semi-structured interviews, the study investigates how reviewers for three publishing outlets in psychology experience the tension between community responsibility and various priorities of a more individual kind.
