Science is often judged by measurable outcomes, which can undermine collaboration and the common good. A view is proposed in which science helps create and sustain flourishing communities through shared practices and values.
This study assessed trends in data accessibility, compliance with Data availability statements (DAS), and the relationship between data sharing and citation impact in oceanographic research.
Do open-data infrastructures actively reshape research agendas? Using GBIF as a case, this study finds that topic choices shifted after using the platform, framing open data platforms as research “catalysts,” not passive repositories.
The results of this study confirm persistent gender disparities: women are more frequently acknowledged than credited as co-authors, especially in roles involving investigation and analysis.
This study, which analysed how scientific publications are used in patents, finds that open-access research is cited in patents more often than expected, suggesting that open science can strengthen knowledge transfer from academia to innovation and industry.
Large language models are beginning to enter peer review. Yet this use creates a security problem: the manuscript being judged can also contain hidden instructions that shape the model's judgment.
Can Large Language Models (LLMs) support the process or validate expert evaluations? ChatGPT-4o mini scores correlated positively with expert scores in almost all 34 (field-based) Units of Assessment (UoAs).
This paper presents a systematic review of the literature on hyperprolific authorship to examine how it is defined, investigated, and perceived across disciplines.
The report examines the current state of open data as reflected in the 2025 survey results, as well as how attitudes and practices have evolved over the past decade.
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.
Meta-regulation - the rules that govern how individual policies are developed and reviewed - has not received much attention in the study of health policy. Far from value-free and objective, they have however significant potential to shape policy outputs and, as such, health outcomes.
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.
This article investigates higher-order rich-club phenomena in networks of collaborative research grants among institutions and their associations with research impact.
Based on the state of research in the Science of Team Science, the question of which intra- and interpersonal factors are most significant for the success of a research team is investigated.
This analysis uncovers new dimensions of migration among scholars by investigating the return migration of published researchers, which is critical for the development of science policy.
This study discusses the implications of research metrics as applied to the transition countries based on the framework of ten principles of the Leiden Manifesto. They can guide Central Asian policymakers in creating systems for a more objective evaluation of research performance based on globally recognized indicators.
This paper develops a new indicator based on an academic's inferred co-presence at conferences. It finds that hierarchy and influence play a stronger role in determining a scientist's performance in the context of informal networks than they do when considering formal co-publication networks.
China created a research evaluation system based on publications indexed in the SCI and on the Journal Impact Factor, which helped China become the largest contributor to scientific literature and increase the position of its universities in global rankings.
More than resource allocations, evaluations of funding applications have become central instances for status bestowal in academia. Much attention in past literature has been devoted to grasping the status consequences of prominent funding evaluations.
This article explores the effects and interrelationships of seven collaboration problems that arise in the context of the tension between cooperation and competition.
The Academy of Finland (AKA), Finland's major public research funding agency, uses a Web of Science (WoS) based bibliometric indicator to assess the performance of research it has funded. CRIS-based publication data can support multidimensional assessments of research performance and scholarly communication profiles, potentially also in other countries and institutions.
This study aimed to reveal how researchers describe the collaboration with partners outside the university in research proposals.
The paper brings together the literature on citizen science and on deliberative democracy and epistemic injustice.
This paper develops and studies a complex data-driven framework for human resource management enabling (i) academic talent recognition, (ii) researcher performance measurement, and (iii) renewable resource allocation maximizing the total output of a research unit.
This paper analyses the interrelations between academic disciplines and society beyond academia by the case of sociology in Norway.
This paper presents several suggestions for future measurement of the interdisciplinarity of research.
This study found that the average age of scientists at the time of the breakthrough was higher for researchers from less developed countries. Moreover, individual opportunities in the world were extremely unequal by country of birth, gender significantly conditioned any participation in research, and the probability of becoming a top researcher more than doubled for individuals with parents belonging to the most favoured occupational categories.
