Why Integrators Belong Nowhere

Integration expertise exists in universities and policy work, so why can’t institutions recognize or resource it?

Conflating "Responsible Metrics" with "Responsible Assessment" is a common strategic error in research management.

Responsible Metrics focus on data sources and quantification (the technical side). Responsible Assessment focuses on institutional processes, ethics, and people (the political/governance side).

Adopting better data tools (like OpenAlex) without reforming decision-making cultures is not a solution. It is often just a way to make the same mistakes using better data.

My latest analysis on why this distinction is critical for policy design: https://copdeb.com/2025/12/22/diferencia-metricas-responsable-evaluacion-responsable/

Interesting also from the science policy dialogue point of view. I think a very good example how to deliver key messages to high level politicians within a very limited timeframe without too much sacrifice on details #scipol

Innovation’s Hidden Scaffolds

In this time of upheaval, what does it mean that so many advocates for science are pointing to an 80-year-old report by Vannevar Bush?
