Male speakers exceeded their allocated time more frequently than female speakers, especially at large conferences (73% vs 49%). Since conferences are an important arena for science dissemination this might have a negative impact on female scientist's careers.

Gender gaps in grant success rates were significantly larger when there was an explicit review focus on the principal investigator.

Avoiding bias in grant review is necessary to ensure the best research is funded, regardless of who proposes it.

Adequate sample size is key to reproducible research findings: low statistical power can increase the probability that a statistically significant result is a false positive.

Emerging technologies making computational reproducibility practical in both time and effort.

Contrary to the basic premise of many funding policies, we find that the number of citations of an investigator determine funding levels, but not the other way around.

Measuring the veracity of scientific reports by citation analysis.

Although there are differences among journals across the spectrum of JIFs, the citation distributions overlap extensively, demonstrating that the citation performance of individual papers cannot be inferred from the JIF.

An analysis of 15 million English scientific full-text articles published during the period 1823-2016.

Recommendations on best practice

Research institutions should have regular open conversations on authorship criteria and ethics and that funding agencies adopt ORCID and accept CRediT.

Evaluating the impact of the Moore Foundation Open Access new policy.

A matched-control analysis of papers containing problematic image duplications.

Sci-Hub is used by different populations and for a number of different reasons and that there is still a lack of access to the published scientific record.

Springer Nature has developed a standardised, common framework for the research data policies of all its journals.

The trend is indicative of a growing usage of general scientific jargon.

Llow replication success in psychology is realistic and worse performance may be expected for cognitive neuroscience.

The social capital of open science

10 simple rules to help you get across the main idea of your paper.

Community driven paid reviews could work in conjunction with a feed-back loop to young scientists. This promote the integration of reviews into an academic career.

BioBlocks is an open-source web-based visual development environment for describing and execute experimental protocols on local robotic platforms or remotely i.e. in the cloud. It aims to serve as a 'de facto' open standard for programming protocols in Biology.

Although the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is widely acknowledged to be a poor indicator of the quality of individual papers, it is used routinely to evaluate research and researchers. Here, we present a simple method for generating the citation distributions that underlie JIFs.

A possible replacement for the Journal Impact Factor. 

A discussion of the common underpinning problems with the scientific and data analytic practices and point to tools and behaviors that can be implemented to reduce the problems with published scientific results.

This study attempted to determine the percentage of published papers containing inappropriate image duplication, a specific type of inaccurate data.

The time has come for the life scientists, funding agencies, and publishers to discuss how to communicate new findings in a way that best serves the interests of the public and scientific community.
