In an era where research bureaucracy is the biggest burden bestowed upon scientists, some are seeking practical solutions.
A spirit of collective enterprise in scientific research is being replaced by a rush to assign precise credit for who did what.
Utilizing 250,000 papers from ArXiv.org we construct large coauthorship networks to investigate how individual network positions influence scientific success. Surprisingly, inter(sub)disciplinary collaborations decrease the probability of getting a paper published in specialized journals for almost all positions.
Think tanks are seen as independent, but their scholars often push donors’ agendas, amplifying a culture of corporate influence in Washington.
