With this compendium, the Hamburg Open Science Programme aims to provide practical support for practitioners of open science and to help remove existing obstacles on the way to greater transparency in science.
This paper is rather a profound hermeneutic enunciation putting into question our present understanding of psychopathy. It further articulates, in complement, a novel theoretical and methodological conceptualisation for a hermeneutic psychological science.
One graduate student explains the importance of the global climate strike.
The UK is focusing on international partnerships and ground-breaking sector deals in order to remain a global leader in science
The Government of the Netherlands has launched a funding drive to support culture and heritage sectors, as well as in science and innovation.
Study investigated 19 topics related to transparency in reporting and research integrity. Only three topics were addressed in more than one third of scientific journals' Instructions to Authors.
New documents show that the M.I.T. Media Lab was aware of Epstein's status as a convicted sex offender, and that Epstein directed contributions to the lab far exceeding the amounts M.I.T. has publicly admitted.
For interdisciplinary projects to flourish, scientists must recognise the potential contribution of other disciplines in answering key research questions. Recent research suggested that social sciences may be appreciated less than hard sciences overall.
Translating scientific research and findings into policy discussion often requires an understanding of the institutional complexities of policy processes. This study developed a set of metrics to examine how researchers have undertaken that challenge.
EU-backed research projects were slashed after Switzerland voted to curb immigration. The UK should take note.
The outcomes of a 4-year pilot phase which gathered information from over 500 institutions are discussed, outlining future directions for efforts to promote gender equity in STEM.
Nearly a week before the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publicly backed President Trump over its own scientists, a top NOAA official warned its staff against contradicting the president. This happened hours after Trump asserted, with no evidence, that Alabama "would most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated" by hurricane Dorian, and days before he showed a hurricane map modified with a hand-drawn, half-circle around Alabama.
The acting chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) is investigating whether the agency's response to President Trump's claims about Hurricane Dorian constituted a violation of policies and ethics.
In recent years traditional journalism has experienced a collapse, and science journalism has been a major casualty. One potential remedy is to encourage scientists to write for news media about science.
Graphics are becoming increasingly important for scientists to effectively communicate their findings to broad audiences, but most researchers lack expertise in visual media.
Sen. Maria Cantwell calls for committee hearings on whether Trump administration is trying to "undermine science."
The publisher is scrutinizing researchers who might be inappropriately using the review process to promote their own work.
Reviewing and accepting study plans before results are known can counter perverse incentives. Chris Chambers sets out three ways to improve the approach.
The incoming president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, nominated Bulgaria's Mariya Gabriel to take charge of research, innovation and education, but has scotched research from the name of the brief for the first time, relabelling it the 'Innovation and Youth' portfolio.
Respondents to a Nature poll want to make their own decisions about how to interpret citation metrics. That requires data to be freely accessible.
The UK government’s announcement of its plans to offer extended post-study work visas for international graduates of UK universities has received an unusual response - unalloyed praise from the higher education sector.
Brian Schmidt says academia is losing brightest researchers because they cannot endure 'intolerable' precarity throughout their thirties
What happened when Jeffrey Epstein funded science and tech? Women were excluded.
The financial strain of having a baby during her Ph.D. put this researcher's career in jeopardy.
SAGE Publishing is today retracting 22 articles by a materials science researcher who published in two of their journals - but the anonymous reader who brought the problems to their attention…
It's no secret that retractions have a stigma, which is very likely part of why authors often resist the move - even when honest error is involved.
