The Bratislava Declaration of Young Researchers calls on member states and the European Commission to recognize the special role that young researchers play for science, development, innovation and economic growth in Europe.
Greenpeace accepts climate science. So why do they dismiss the science around GMOs?
For centuries people have been asking, “Why is there something rather than nothing?” Science has not been able to give us an answer so far. We still have to live with the basic statement that “Everything that is is, and it is as long as it keeps its identity, that is, its onticity”, which we may call the “Strong Ontic Principle”.
A variety of bibliometric measures has been developed to supplant the Impact Factor to better assess the impact of individual research papers
As the trade of personal health and medical data expands, it becomes necessary to improve legal frameworks for protecting patient anonymity, handling consent and ensuring the quality of data
Ever since Eugene Garfield first began to analyse citation patterns in academic literature, bibliometrics and scientometrics have been highly pragmatic disciplines. By that, I mean that technological limitations have restricted measurements and analyses to what is possible, rather than what is ideal or theoretically desirable. In the post-digital era, however, technological limitations are increasingly falling …
We bring together scientists, engineers, programmers, business analysts, and journalists to disseminate best-practices in data visualization and accelerate the bleeding edge technology.
The inconvenient truth is that scientists can achieve fame and advance their careers through accomplishments that do not prioritize the quality of their work.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is putting $35 million towards a pair of software institutes that will build the tools necessary for 21st-century research.
The much-maligned practice of “double-dipping,” in which a publisher received revenue from both subscriptions and APCs, is likely to remain with us for some time.

Hundreds of scientists said the research community isn’t yet ready to release data on a relatively quick turnaround.
With the publication of the Concordat on Open Research Data last week, the UK further cemented its leadership position in promoting access to tax payer-funded research data.
By one estimate, 11 biotech drugs made from the ovary cells of Chinese hamsters generated an incredible $57 billion in sales in 2013 alone.
Balancing an academic career with the realities of a biological clock.

We should not have to parade ourselves on social media to please our employers or be considered enthusiastic
Study showing open access papers have a 50% greater citation advantage than articles behind paywalls.
Thousands of conservation and environmental biologists must now survive two rounds of peer review before getting funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF). NSF says that the two-stage review process, which it launched 4 years ago as a pilot project in two divisions within its biology directorate, has resulted in a more manageable workload and fuller consideration of the highest-quality proposals.
Dean Burnett: Some scientists argue that social media use is pointless. This scientist disagrees.
We all need to acknowledge racism and its heavy-handed presence in our communities. We must realize that such conversations do not belong just to minority scientists.
Researchers have created a new system to test influential papers for reproducibility.
