This study aimed to reveal how researchers describe the collaboration with partners outside the university in research proposals.

Urbanization took place rapidly over recent decades and is expected to continue in the future, producing a series of environmental issues, including heat stress.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the need to partner with the community in pandemic preparedness and response in order to enable trust-building among stakeholders, which is key in pandemic management.

Disparities extend to lower chance of being named on patents and to areas such as healthcare where women dominate

Data reveal that to earn credit on scientific articles, women need to work harder than men.

The paper brings together the literature on citizen science and on deliberative democracy and epistemic injustice. 

This article explores why the Swiss Federal Council and the Swiss Federal Parliament were reluctant to follow the majority views of the scientific epidemiological community at the beginning of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The FAIR Data Principles are being rapidly adopted by many research institutes and funders worldwide. This study assesses the awareness and attitudes of clinical researchers and research support staff regarding data FAIRification.

This article studies international citation and text similarity networks across 150 fields and find that some countries increasingly receive more citations despite researching similar topics as others.

What does it entail to perform a code review for Nature Computational Science?

A paradigm shift away from null hypothesis significance testing seems in progress. Based on simulations, the article illustrates some of the underlying motivations.

Rapid communication of clinical trial results has likely saved lives during the COVID-19 pandemic and should become the new norm.

Recent examples of Sino-Russian biotechnology cooperation projects, offering an early account of the emerging integration of two distinct innovation infrastructures.

This article explores how the rise of remote collaboration has shaped disruptive discoveries in science between 1961 and 2020.

Theories on gender bias argue that women in academia benefit less from their academic achievements than men do; women, as a result, show lower rates of success in becoming tenured professors. 

The paper argues for the salience of more detailed empirical investigations into the work of funding bodies as they navigate tensions encountered by researchers.

Good intentions are not enough to bring about change; nor are simple tallies, training programmes or unwarranted rosy views. Change requires sustained investment, appropriate incentives and evidence-backed interventions.

While the planetary boundary framework provides one way of understanding biodiversity or biosphere integrity loss, there are many other measures of biodiversity loss — and all point toward the fact that we are continuing to dangerously destabilize life on Earth.

This paper analyses the interrelations between academic disciplines and society beyond academia by the case of sociology in Norway. 

COVID-19 researchers have embraced the platform. For many others, tweeting has yet to translate into professional rewards.

This paper presents several suggestions for future measurement of the interdisciplinarity of research. 

Despite longstanding discussions and consequent improvements of gender representation in academia, the number of women working in academic research, their performance and their recognition still indicate the persistence of gender inequalities.

This study found that the average age of scientists at the time of the breakthrough was higher for researchers from less developed countries. Moreover, individual opportunities in the world were extremely unequal by country of birth, gender significantly conditioned any participation in research, and the probability of becoming a top researcher more than doubled for individuals with parents belonging to the most favoured occupational categories. 

This article explores how factors relating to grades and grading affect the correctness of choices that grant-review panels make among submitted proposals. It seeks to identify interventions in panel design that may be expected to increase the correctness of choices.

It remains unclear how tropical cyclones (TCs) decay from their ocean lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) to landfall intensity (LI), yet this stage is of fundamental importance governing the socio-economic impact of TCs. 

The history of the scientific enterprise demonstrates that it has supported gender, identity, and racial inequity. To reverse this situation, the scientific community must reexamine its values and then collectively embark upon a moonshot-level new agenda for equity.

Apart from economic, political, and cultural cooperation for an equal growth of all developing countries, science and technology are an integral significant component in these levels of engagement for leveraging mutual gains. The current pandemic not only brought about an 1800 shift in the relationship between the government, policy makers, and the scientific community but highlights the importance of South–South Cooperation (SSC).

Although citations are widely used to measure the influence of scientific works, research shows that many citations serve rhetorical functions and reflect little-to-no influence on the citing authors.

COVID-19 presents a opportunity to transform democratic engagement in the governance of global public goods. To make us more resistant and resilient to future global health crises we need transformative thinking to democratically engage global citizens. 

Urban beekeeping is booming, heightening awareness of pollinator importance but also raising concerns that its fast growth might exceed existing resources and negatively impact urban biodiversity. To evaluate the magnitude of urban beekeeping growth and its sustainability, we analysed data on beehives and available resources in 14 Swiss cities in 2012-2018 and modelled the sustainability of urban beekeeping under different scenarios of available floral resources and existing carrying capacities. We found large increases in hives numbers across all cities from an average 6.48 hives per km2 (3139 hives in total) in 2012 to an average 10.14 hives per km2 (9370 in total) in 2018 and observed that available resources are insufficient to maintain present densities of beehives, which currently are unsustainable.
