This essay unifies key epistemological concepts in a consistent mathematical framework built on two postulates: 1-information is finite; 2-knowledge is information compression.

Biases in grant proposal success rates, funding rates and award sizes affect the geographical distribution of funding for biomedical research

Citation counts are not purely a reflection of scientific merit and the impact factor is, in fact, auto-correlated.

The paper proposes how to achieve widespread, uniform human and machine accessibility of deposited data, in support of significantly improved verification, validation, reproducibility and re-use of scholarly/scientific data.

This study investigates the relationship between research group size and productivity in the life sciences in the UK and shows that the number of publications increases linearly with group size, but that the slope is modest relative to the intercept, and that the relationship explains little of the variance in productivity.

Study on the abundance of positive results in the scientific literature.

Comparison of the recall of commonly used online indexers.

It is known that statistically significant results are more likely to be published than results that are not statistically significant. We conducted a search in the abstracts of papers published between 1990 and 2014. The results indicate that negative results are not disappearing, but have actually become 4.3 times more prevalent since 1990. Positive results, on the other hand, have become 13.9 times more prevalent since 1990.
