In this paper (Rubin, 2022), I make two related points: (1) researchers should halve two-sided p values if they wish to use them to make directional claims, and (2) researchers should not halve their alpha level if they’re using two one-sided tests to test two directional null hypotheses.

Research is increasingly data-driven, and so is the management, communication, and evaluation of research. The area of research intelligence is fuelled by big data analytics and provides new prospects for assisted decision-making on funding opportunities, publishing venues and next generation metrics.

In the global research evaluation community, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of responsible evaluation. The current situation, with an emphasis on quantitative metrics, does not do justice to diversity between scientific fields, to different roles of researchers, or to the societal value of research.

The incentives for new OpenCitations innovative solutions Two years ago, in their canonical 2020 QSS paper on OpenCitations, Silvio Peroni and David Shotton anticipated the creation of the new database, OpenCitations Meta, able to “offer a faster and richer service” by storing bibliographic metadata “in house”. Meta would “ avoid duplication of data by efficiently permitting us to keep […] a single copy of the metadata for each of the
