Without open data, a scientific paper is little more than a statement that, in the author’s opinion, some evidence supports a certain set of claims.
The academic torrents network is built for researchers, by researchers. Its distributed peer-to-peer library system automatically replicates your datasets on many servers, so you don't have to worry about managing your own servers or file availability. Everyone who has data becomes a mirror for those data so the system is fault-tolerant.
Authors of systematic review articles sometimes overlook misconduct and conflicts of interest present in the research they are analyzing, according to a recent study published in BMJ Open.
This study contributes to a growing understanding of individual- and institution-level factors that may influence academic researcher engagement with research coproduction.
The push for rapid and open publishing could take off - although financial pressures lie ahead: part 4 in a series on science after the pandemic.
Posting scientific papers online, free to the public, seems like a great idea. But it's more complicated than it sounds.
Meta-regulation - the rules that govern how individual policies are developed and reviewed - has not received much attention in the study of health policy. Far from value-free and objective, they have however significant potential to shape policy outputs and, as such, health outcomes.
First impressions of Horizon Europe are in, as the research world gets to grips with the €95.5B research programme.
A Dutch funding agency is making €3 million available to repeat landmark studies—including one published in 1960.
Scientists warned of a coming pandemic for decades. Yet when Covid-19 arrived, the world had few resources and little understanding-despite years of work that outlined almost exactly what the virus would look like and how to mitigate its impact.
New study reinforces worries about “mass production of junk” by unscrupulous scholars aiming to pad their CVs
An algorithm developed to spot abnormal patterns of citations aims to find scientists who have manipulated reference lists.
As Switzerland celebrates and commemorates the 50th anniversary of the federal referendum on women’s suffrage, the Swiss Science Council takes the opportunity to look back at its own history.
Scientists and science communicators are engaged in a constant battle with ignorance. But that’s an approach doomed to failure, says Richard P Grant.
As the world cuts Russia off from more and more joint research and innovation projects following its invasion of Ukraine, there's been deafening silence from the ITER megaproject that is seeking to demonstrate the potential of nuclear fusion by building the world's largest tokamak in south west France.
Higher education needs to break down the barriers that block pathways to cross-subject study.
Approximately one-fifth of papers with supplementary Excel gene lists contain erroneous gene name conversions.
