Abstract Open Access (OA) emerged as an important transition in scholarly publishing worldwide during the past two decades. So far, this is increasingly based on article processing charges (APC), which create a new paywall researchers’ side. Publishing part of research process and thereby necessary to perform research. This study analyses global trends towards paying by combing observed from 2015 2020 with APC price list. expenses have sharply increased among six countries different OA...
Abstract Numerous studies have shown that female scientists tend to publish significantly fewer publications than do their male colleagues. In this study, we analyzed whether similar differences also can be found in terms of citation rates. Based on a large‐scale study 8,500 Norwegian researchers and more 37,000 covering all areas knowledge, conclude the are less cited those men, although not large. The gender rates attributed productivity. There is cumulative advantage effect increasing...

It also contributes to discussion future REF taking an international perspective. offers framework understanding differences motivations designs performance-based funding...
Abstract Societal impact of research does not occur primarily as unexpected extraordinary incidents particularly useful breakthroughs in science. It is more often a result normal everyday interactions between organizations that need to create, exchange, and make use new knowledge further their goals. We the distinctions societal organizational- individual-level activities responsibilities discuss how science–society relations can better be understood, evaluated, improved by focusing on...
The scientific foundation for the criticism on use of Journal Impact Factor (JIF) in evaluations individual researchers and their publications was laid between 1989 1997 a series articles by Per O. Seglen. His basic work has since influenced initiatives such as San Francisco Declaration Research Assessment (DORA), Leiden Manifesto research metrics, Metric Tide review role metrics assessment management. Seglen studied only 16 senior biomedical scientists. We investigate whether Seglen's main...

In the past two decades, centres of excellence (CoE) and other 'research initiatives' likely to increase cumulative advantages stratification science, have been implemented in many countries. Based on empirical studies CoE four Nordic countries, this paper examines how resources provided by schemes (generous long-term funding, prestige visibility) add success growth dynamics CoE. The data indicate a modified Matthew effect with ceilings limits avoiding excessive accumulation resources....
We develop and propose a new counting method at the aggregate level for contributions to scientific publications called modified fractional (MFC). show that, compared traditional complete-normalized counting, it eliminates extreme differences in over time that otherwise occur between scientists mainly publish alone or small groups those with large of co-authors. As an extra benefit we find different areas research turn out have comparable average articles. test on Norway's largest...
A radical reform of research assessment was recently launched in China. It seeks to replace a focus on Web Science-based indicators with balanced combination qualitative and quantitative evaluation, strengthen the local relevance trusts institutions implement policy within few months but does not provide necessary national platforms for coordination, influence collaboration developing shared tools information resources agreement definitions, criteria protocols procedures.
