Technology and practice can help shy and introverted researchers to succeed when reticence is risky.
Jim Dickinson presents findings from new research on students' use of AI – and argues the sector is punishing precisely the disposition it should be cultivating.
Open research is about more than open access. It is about making all aspects of the research process open to all possible interested parties.
How several free software tools have fundamentally upgraded our approach to collaborative research, making our entire workflow more transparent and streamlined.
To enable peer feedback, collaboration and transparency in scientific research practices, Hypothesis and the Center for Open Science (COS) are announcing a new partnership to bring open annotation to Open Science Framework (OSF) Preprints and the 17 community preprint servers hosted on OSF.
Scientific papers typically have a finite lifetime. Previous studies pointed out the existence of a few blatant exceptions: papers whose relevance has not been recognized for decades, but then suddenly become highly influential and cited. This study investigates how common Sleeping Beauties are in science.

EUA is organising a series of workshops raising awareness and fostering discussion on research assessment reform. The 2019 edition will focus on research evaluation for the purpose of recruitment and career progression of researchers.
Leonid Schneider argues for a new way to ensure accountability for publicly funded research. It has become clear that scientific dishonesty is rarely sanctioned.
Encouraging researchers to post their outputs as preprints.
Ensuring we focus our definition of success around valuable contributions - instead of around the final output - would recognise and reward good research and researchers.
The arrangement will allow some researchers in Germany to publish openly - but critics say it comes with a high price.
Association of research funding and performing organisations wants more diversity, collaboration and societal impact.
Google is allegedly working on a free, open access platform for the research, collaboration and publishing of peer-reviewed scientific journals. At least, that is apparently what one individual wants us to believe.

Economics is highly parochial: there were more papers focused on the United States than on Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa combined.
The non-rivalness of scientific knowledge has traditionally underpinned its status as a public good. This publication models science as a contribution game in which spillovers differentially benefit contributors over non-contributors.
Compared with psychology, the replication rate "is rather good," researchers say
