This study uses a bibliometric method to examine the relationship between two journal characteristics during 2009–2013: the article processing charges and the percentage of published articles based on work that is supported by grant-funded articles.
The flourishing of citizen science is an exciting phenomenon with the potential to contribute significantly to scientific progress. However, we lack a framework for addressing in a principled and effective manner the pressing ethical questions it raises. We argue that at the core of any such framework must be the human right to science.
This study questions the reliability of life science literature, it illustrates that data duplications are widespread and independent of journal impact factor and call for a reform of the current peer review and retraction process of scientific publishing.
The publication, retraction and subsequent republication of the Séralini study raise important scientific and ethical issues for journal editors. Decisions to retract an article should be made on the basis of well-established policies. Articles should be retracted only for serious errors that undermine the reliability of the data or results, or for serious ethical lapses, such as research misconduct or mistreatment of animal or human subjects.
The study aims to shed light on international collaboration by researchers from the Eastern European countries
Comparing Intra-EU and U.S. Mobility
This paper provides useful insights for the design of networks that promote research productivity. Overall, dense networks negatively affect the creation of new knowledge. In addition, the analysis shows that a division of labor in academia, in the sense of interdisciplinary research, increases the productivity of researchers. It is also found that the position in a network is critical. Researchers who are central tend to create more knowledge.
Highly fragmented and competitive system can undermine efforts to foster groundbreaking research.
The role of competitive funds as a source of funding for academic research has increased in many countries. For the individual researcher, the receipt of a grant can influence both scientific production and career paths.
An analysis of the presence and possibilities of altmetrics for bibliometric and performance analysis is carried out.
Essay on the problems relating to reliance on subject-specific journals and peer review.
Much like the trade and traits of bubbles in financial markets, similar bubbles appear on the science market.
