Academia and industry each possess distinct advantages in advancing technological progress. Academia's core mission is to promote open dissemination of research results and drive disciplinary progress. The industry values knowledge…
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming increasingly used for writing tasks. However, the extent of their use in peer-reviewed medical literature remains unclear. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of all Original…
Introduction: Evaluating compliance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement can be time-consuming and subjective. This study compares STROBE assessments from large language models…
Open and reproducible research in materials science relies on the availability of data, code, and common metadata standards. Journal research data policies (RDPs) remain a primary mechanism by which publication norms are defined and…
Urgent societal events demand scientific responses that are both rapid and impactful. Through an adversarial collaboration, we connected bibliometric databases to evaluate the speed and impact of over 2 million scientific publications in…
The International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) is the premier international conference in the area of neural networks theory, analysis, and applications. The 2025 edition of the conference comprised 5,526 paper submissions,…
Bibliographic catalogues store millions of data. The use of computer techniques such as web-scraping allows the extraction of data in an efficient and accurate manner. The recent emergence of ChatGPT is facilitating the development of…
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework provides a rigorous foundation for evidence synthesis, yet the manual processes of data extraction and literature screening remain time-consuming and…
The COVID-19 outbreak rapidly became a pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, posing an unprecedented threat and challenge to healthcare systems and the public. Governments in nearly every country focused on immunization programs for the…
Reference lists in scholarly manuscripts frequently contain errors, including incorrect identifiers, incomplete metadata, misattributed authors, and mismatches between preprint and published versions. These problems are tedious to repair…
In the field of Computer Science, conference and workshop papers serve as important contributions, carrying substantial weight in research assessment processes, compared to other disciplines. However, a considerable number of these papers…
Organisational accounts are an integral part of the Twitter (now X) ecosystem. This study identified 9,842 research- and policy-related organisational accounts that had tweeted about scholarly publications by linking three global…
This study first examines how APC expenditures, authorship patterns, and publishing venues of Ukrainian scholars changed between the pre-war (2020-2021) and wartime (2022-2023) periods. Second, it explores the extent to which APC levels are…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to be used to support research evaluation and have a moderate capability to estimate the research quality of a journal article from its title and abstract. This paper assesses whether there…
Purpose: Despite the importance of peer review for grant funding decisions, academics are often reluctant to conduct it. This can lead to long delays between submission and the final decision as well as the risk of substandard reviews from…
Autonomous editorial systems represent an emerging class of computational frameworks that transform how large volumes of information are ingested, organized, and analyzed. This work presents a structured, continuously operating editorial…
Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly emerged in civil and environmental engineering (CEE) research, education, and practice as tools for project ideation, execution, and communication. However, it is unknown how prevalent LLM adoption…
The sustainability of the academic ecosystem relies on researcher demographics and gender balance, yet assessing these dynamics in a timely manner for policy is challenging. Here, we propose a researcher population pyramid framework for…
As the volume of scientific literature grows, efficient knowledge organization becomes increasingly challenging. Traditional approaches to structuring scientific content are time-consuming and require significant domain expertise,…
Digital Gregorian chant scholarship has for decades enjoyed the privilege of a large digital resource cataloguing chant sources: the Cantus ecosystem, with nearly 900,000 chants catalogued across more than 2000 sources. The Cantus Database…
