The emergent integrated network structure of scientific research
Scientific research is often thought of as being conducted by individuals and small teams striving for disciplinary advances. Yet as a whole, this endeavor more closely... -
Exploring the role of interdisciplinarity in physics: Success, talent and luck
Although interdisciplinarity is often touted as a necessity for modern research, the evidence on the relative impact of sectorial versus to interdisciplinary science is... -
Vicious circles of gender bias, lower positions, and lower performance: Gende...
It is often argued that female researchers publish on average less than male researchers do, but male and female authored papers have an equal impact. In this paper we try to... -
A case study exploring associations between popular media attention of scient...
The association between mention of scientific research in popular media (e.g., the mainstream media or social media platforms) and scientific impact (e.g., citations) has yet to... -
Effects of research complexity and competition on the incidence and growth of...
Background Investigations into the factors behind coauthorship growth in biomedical research have mostly focused on specific disciplines or journals, and have rarely... -
Dissemination of novel biostatistics methods: Impact of programming code avai...
Background As statisticians develop new methodological approaches, there are many factors that influence whether others will utilize their work. This paper is a bibliometric... -
BraX-Ray: an X-ray of the Brazilian computer science graduate programs.
Research productivity assessment is increasingly relevant for allocation of research funds. On one hand, this assessment is challenging because it involves both qualitative and... -
Comparison of researchers’ impact indices
Researchers contribute to the frontiers of knowledge by establishing facts and reaching new conclusions through systematic investigations, and by subsequently publishing the... -
