This week, New York City is buzzing with scientists. A Science Summit is being held at the United Nations, to coincide with the UN General Assembly. The summit’s overall theme revolves around the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to end poverty and protect the environment. Research in poorer countries maps closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - wealthy nations must follow if the goals are to be met.
Podcast: Research managers, citizen scientists, librarians and technicians rarely make it onto author lists. But an initiative to assess their hidden contributions to team science moved some judging panel members to tears.
For more than ten years, re3data, a global registry of research data repositories (RDRs), has been helping scientists, funding agencies, libraries, and data centers with finding, identifying, and referencing RDRs.
Many researchers say that AI systems aren’t yet at the point of consciousness, but that the pace of AI evolution has got them pondering: how would we know if they were? A checklist derived from six neuroscience-based theories could aid in the assessment.
Science misinformation have significant public policy repercussions. Artificial intelligence-based methods of altering videos and photos (deepfakes) lower the barriers to the mass creation and dissemination of realistic, manipulated digital content.
Science is international, but scientific publishing is dominated by English-language publications. This disproportionately benefits native or fluent English speakers. Steps to address the imbalance this creates are taken, and new technology may help.
This study presents a valuable dataset supporting regional research and innovation systems in four European regions: Vestland (Norway), Kriti (Greece), Galicia (Spain), and Overijssel (Netherlands). It focuses on understanding citizens’ perceptions of research and innovation dilemmas within these regions.
Sudden move could derail collaborations that have taken decades to build, scientists say. International-development researchers in Sweden are in turmoil after the country’s government decided to cut all further public research funding for the field.
