For more than ten years, re3data, a global registry of research data repositories (RDRs), has been helping scientists, funding agencies, libraries, and data centers with finding, identifying, and referencing RDRs.

The study investigates whether the differentiation in the research function of UASs is reflected in their participation in the European Union Framework Programs for Research and Innovation (EU-FPs).

Science misinformation have significant public policy repercussions. Artificial intelligence-based methods of altering videos and photos (deepfakes) lower the barriers to the mass creation and dissemination of realistic, manipulated digital content.

This exploratory observational study at two large biomedical and health research funders in the Netherlands provides insight into how scientific quality and societal relevance are discussed in panel meetings.

This paper studies the national implementation, in Finland, of the European Union (EU) programme for COVID-19 recovery, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), as an example of a cross-sectoral policy programme.

Australia shows the need for more sustainable and just water management.

Replacing traditional journals with a more modern solution is not a new idea. Here, the authors propose ways to overcome the social dilemma underlying the decades of inaction.

Science is international, but scientific publishing is dominated by English-language publications. This disproportionately benefits native or fluent English speakers. Steps to address the imbalance this creates are taken, and new technology may help.

This study presents a valuable dataset supporting regional research and innovation systems in four European regions: Vestland (Norway), Kriti (Greece), Galicia (Spain), and Overijssel (Netherlands). It focuses on understanding citizens’ perceptions of research and innovation dilemmas within these regions. 

New methods are emerging to quantify human and animal welfare on a common scale, creating new tools for policy.

China's government uses a variety of diplomatic tools to pursue its foreign policy aims including negotiating and signing formal bilateral science and technology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we create and evaluate information, and this is happening during an infodemic, which has been having marked effects on global health.

Yue Xiong is a microbiologist who emigrated to the United States from China to complete his doctorate in 1989. He is the chief scientific officer of pharmaceutical company Cullgen and was a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This article follows Yue Xiong’s quest for education and is based on an interview from the Science History Institute’s oral history archive conducted in 2000 by historian William Van Benschoten.

With each IPCC report, the science basis around climate change increases extensively in terms of scope, depth, and complexity. In converting this knowledge into societal climate action, research organisations face the challenge of reforming themselves.

There is a debate on shifting research away from biomedical treatments towards health promotion and well-being. This study examines if research agendas are responsive to these demands in cardiometabolic and mental health.

The early 1970s brought fundamental transitions in international scientific collaboration, many of which are still relevant today.

This study investigates which objectives Southern actors pursue in intergovernmental science organizations (IGSOs) and under which conditions they are likely to achieve their objectives.

While societies are facing complex problems involving multiple stakeholders and interdependencies, interest in collaborative governance as a potential solution is rising.

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.

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. 

This article investigates the effect of financial and non-financial barriers on innovativeness.
