Women in STEM jobs are more likely than their male counterparts to have experienced discrimination in the workplace and to believe that discrimination is a major reason there are not more women in STEM.

On the inadequacy and lack of transparency of most research institutions’ responses to allegations of research misconduct.

Widespread adoption of preregistration will increase distinctiveness between hypothesis generation and hypothesis testing and will improve the credibility of research findings.

The United States and South Korea have the highest tendencies for novel science. China has become a leader in favoring newer ideas when working with basic science ideas and research tools, but is still slow to adopt new clinical ideas. Many locations remain far behind the leaders in terms of their tendency to work with novel ideas.

Study finding that women authors have been persistently underrepresented in high-profile journals.

Study finds "strikingly high" rates of depression and anxiety, with many reporting little help or support from supervisors.

To understand how false news spreads, Vosoughi et al. used a data set of rumor cascades on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. About 126,000 rumors were spread by ∼3 million people. False news reached more people than the truth; the top 1% of false news cascades diffused to between 1000 and 100,000 people, whereas the truth rarely diffused to more than 1000 people. Falsehood also diffused faster than the truth.

Reflections upon the problems encountered when writing women in mathematics into Wikipedia.

No agreement among reviewers regarding the quality of 25 NIH grant applications in either their qualitative or quantitative evaluations.

Reasons to adopt the ORCID identifier and accept the CRediT taxonomy.

Study found that 1) Women authors have been persistently underrepresented in high-profile journals, and 2) The percent of female first and last authors is negatively associated with a journal's impact factor.

Articles on gender bias are funded less often and published in journals with a lower Impact Factor than articles on comparable instances of social discrimination.

An overview of the landscape of online data infrastructures, and highlight the key points to consider when using open data.

A three-year endeavor to learn more about the complex and evolving relationship between scientists and the public.

Review of recent developments in the science of science, using large-scale data on the production of science to search for universal and domain-specific patterns.

With some 173,000 articles during the period 2011-2015, Switzerland produced 1% of worldwide publications. It is therefore in the top 20 countries of all sizes that publish the most scientific articles.

Ideas about what research culture might look like in future, gathered from 20 events held by the Royal Society in 15 locations with over 1,000 people and 2,000 hours of face-to-face conversations. 

Recommendations to facilitate the implementation of guiding targets in research institutions and higher education establishments as requested by the Council of the EU.

The present paper takes its place in the stream of studies that analyze the effect of interdisciplinarity on the impact of research output. Unlike previous studies, in this study the...

While rates of productivity were broadly similar, citation rates were found to be higher for transdisciplinary students, as were indicators of collaboration such as co-authorship.

Data from several lines of evidence suggest that the methodological quality of scientific experiments does not increase with increasing rank of the journal.

Researchers at well-resourced, highly ranked universities are more likely to publish in open-access journals.

Workplace culture drives turnover, significantly affecting the retention of underrepresented groups, and costing the industry more than $16 billion each year.

Investigating whether male-dominated academic environments were characterized by gender ideologies with negative implications for women.

Journal editors should be able to ensure that authors are given useful feedback on the language and writing in submitted manuscripts. Journal editors should be able to deal effectively with inappropriate text re-use and plagiarism.

Male speakers exceeded their allocated time more frequently than female speakers, especially at large conferences (73% vs 49%). Since conferences are an important arena for science dissemination this might have a negative impact on female scientist's careers.

Data from several lines of evidence suggest that the methodological quality of scientific experiments does not increase with increasing rank of the journal.

New axes of stratification are emerging in academic publishing, adding to the already complex tapestry of inequality in science. Authors working at lower-ranked universities are more likely to publish in closed/paywalled outlets, and less likely to choose outlets that involve some sort of Article Processing Charge (APCs; gold or hybrid OA).

The influence of discourses of internationalisation and excellence on formal and applied selection criteria in academia.

A new study explores a strange paradox: In countries that empower women, they are less likely to choose math and science professions.
