What is the difference between bibliometric impact and societal impact? There is a tremendous difference between bibliometric and societal impact. I devoted a blog post to this when I had the honour of reaching 100 publications in the peer-reviewed literature. I didn’t feel the sense of accomplishment that I imagined I might have—and should have—felt.
Eckdaten Das Forschungsinformationssystem Pure ist ein modulares System, das von der dänischen Firma Atira entwickelt wurde. Seit 2012 gehört es zur Produktpalette des Elsevier-Konzerns im Bereich Research Intelligence Solutions.
In dieser neuen Serie von Beiträgen bitten wir Praktiker, ihre Forschungsinformationssysteme vorzustellen und zu berichten, was den Ausschlag für die Auswahl der jeweiligen Lösung gegeben hat. Außerdem geben wir einen Ausblick auf neue Entwicklungen am Markt. Damit wollen wir all denjenigen helfen, die sich akut mit Fragen von Investitionen und Systemwahl auseinandersetzen.
Climate skeptics, conspiracy theorists, and the anti-immunization movement are on the rise. At the same time, fraudulent research and issues with the replicability of scientific results prompt the question if science is still a reliable source for political decision-making. In your opinion: Where is science going wrong? The divide between science and society is not necessarily the fault of society and a few crazy individuals.
Vom 13.-16. Juni 2018 findet die traditionelle euroCRIS Konferenz statt – diesmal in Umea, Schweden. Die Konferenz ist ein praktisches Forum für den Austausch über Entwicklungen und Patentrezepte im internationalen Raum, von denen man auch für sein Projekt zuhause profitieren kann. Wer selbst ein Projekt vorstellen möchte: Der Call for Papers läuft noch bis zum 1. März. Link zur Konferenzseite: http://www.cris2018.se/
Introduction Today a system that sets wrong incentives for the scientific community is prevailing that is relying on an outdated system for the communication of science through centralized publisher cartels. As a result, science in some fields is suffering from increasingly poor reproducibility. This bears the risk of loss of credibility among the public and increased scarcity of public funding (Ioannidis, 2005;
Why do you care about impact? It is quite important to understand some aspects of geology to give us the insights of how the earth has evolutioned throughout times, what happened to climate and thus predict how it will change in future. This is one reason why I care about impact. Another one – a lot of the work we do is related to the oil industry. So we help them to find solutions that make this work more efficient and safe.
Let’s get some things out of the way first: Yes, Twitter has fundamentally changed the way journalists work — they use the service to create and manage their brand, to get news, to find sources for stories; it has become an integral part of a journalist’s daily routine. Similarly, academics use Twitter to connect with colleagues, follow news, promote their work, participate in public discussion, and conduct research.
It’s no secret that we have an inequality problem within the hallowed walls of the academy. Much focus has been dedicated to problems of inequality—of status, of wage, of job security, of resulting social mobility, and beyond—mainly between tenured faculty and the growing precariat of contract teaching labour.
What is PeVO? PeVO stands for “Publish and evaluate Onchain”. We are creating a decentralized publication platform which aims to change the way science is accessed, created, published and evaluated by using the blockchain technology. It helps us to create an immutable digital archive which is going to be free and unrestricted.
