A 234% surge in research output. A 23-point drop in first authorship. Hyper-prolific authors emerging! Are universities pushing the limits of #ResearchIntegrity? A new study on @mitpress raises tough questions about authorship & affiliation trends. 🔗 doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_…

Metadata management is more than compliance—it's about making data truly FAIR. This study by Gorka Fraga-González & team offers tips like: > Using secure, version-controlled platforms > Automating workflows, and so much more Great takeaways > doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

🔍 Data, data everywhere… but is it working for you? Researchers are moving ahead from static systems to insight-driven platforms and are seeking to turn data into intelligence! What’s driving this change? Find out in our newsletter this Friday!⬇️ 🔗 communications.mysciencework.com/en-us/hop-on-b…

4% of top-cited scientists have retracted papers. Mistakes or something more? This study shows retractions are more common in high-pressure fields & often linked to self-citation. Should citation metrics also track retractions? Lots to takeaway! ⬇️ 🔗 doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Professorship: A title earned by merit... or by metrics? 📈 This monumental study on @NaturePortfolio dives into how institutions worldwide handle academic promotions! Looking for a promotion soon? This study may certainly give you some ideas! 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

📚 Special issues everywhere, shorter turnarounds, inflated metrics—academic publishing is in overdrive! But at what cost is this paper churning happening? This paper from Mark Hanson and team provides some great insights! 🧐 🔗 doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_… #OpenScience

New #GenAI tools pop up daily—ChatGPT, Perplexity, now #DeepSeek—but are we using them responsibly? This paper brings in an ETHICAL framework: 7 steps to keep research secure, fair & ethical. How can you use them in your research? Read here > doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

🤖 Can #ChatGPT help with #REF2029? As UK universities prepare for REF2029, Kayvan Kousha & @mikethelwall explore whether AI can assess impact case studies. What are their findings & how can you use them in your prep? Read the @LSEImpactBlog article: shorturl.at/f2aBy

Bibliographic databases can make or break your research innovation! ⬇️ A new article by @GinnyBarbour et al. explains how databases like #WebofScience & #Scopus hinder platforms like @eLife & calls for more flexible, innovation-friendly solutions. 🔗 doi.org/10.54900/d3ck1…

2025 = The year of transition in research management? In this month's edition of the MSW Brief, we share our conversation with a university struggling with disconnected systems. How did the conversation go? Find out in your inbox this Friday > shorturl.at/bG6gX

This recent paper on @PNASNews by Gerald Schweiger and group uncovers inefficiencies, biases in peer review, and how competitive funding often deters high-risk research. Time to rethink how we fund science for better outcomes! 🔗 doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… #GrantManagement

This recent study on 30 top #AI papers shows the importance of sharing code and data (yes, both!) for study replication. Open science isn’t optional—it’s essential for trustworthy AI. Full preprint here > doi.org/10.48550/arXiv… @NTNU #AIResearch #openscience

🗺️ Ever wondered how citations map the network of science? The Social Systems Citations Theory (SSCT) tackles this, and a new study by Robin Haunschild & Lutz Bornmann uses #OpenAlex to create overlay maps. Read more: doi.org/10.1371/journa… #openscience

Team @MyScienceWork wishes you a Happy New Year packed with success, innovation, and endless opportunities for opening science. Let’s make 2025 one to remember! Keep an eye out for some big announcements and updates this year 💪🌟 #Welcome2025 #PolarisOS #Sirius #grantmanagement

🎄 Happy Holidays from all of us at MyScienceWork! As few of us take some time off this season, others keep improving our solutions for 2025. We’ll take a social media break but will be back in January with exciting updates. See you next year! ❄️✨ #HappyHolidays

🎉 2024 was a great year! Among all our projects, we launched Prosocour with @CRCVersailles, evolved Polaris OS, powered @ERDERA_org, and joined @euroCRIS_Org. But that’s just the start! Curious about the full story? Check out this video for all the highlights. 🚀 #YearInReview

🎉 #Farewell2024 with a “blast”! Our team tackled Bomb Squad, testing our problem-solving & teamwork (with a colorful explosion 💣😂), then toasted the year with a fusion feast at Uma Nota while exchanging gifts as Secret Santa! 🍣🥩. Here’s to more fun & growth in 2025! 🥂

Are Journal Impact Factors overrated? 🤔 This study introduces Journal Quality Factors, using #ChatGPT to measure journal quality, that go beyond citations to assess impact, originality, & more! doi.org/10.48550/arXiv… @mikethelwall #AI #ResearchMetrics #OpenScience

Is making research freely available enough to call it "Open Science"? 🤔 This recent study by @IsmaelRafols explores how current efforts often increase inequality & have unclear societal impact. 📖 Full paper available here > doi.org/10.31235/osf.i… #OpenScience #Equality
