A new paper by Ioannidis & Baas highlights an uncomfortable shift: most scientific publications today come from countries that are not full democracies and have limited press freedom. In 2006, about two-thirds of global science was produced in full democracies. In 2024 – only 22%.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s41073-026-00190-6
Even more striking – 78% of publications come from countries with problematic press freedom, and there is no link between democracy and scientific productivity.
An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):
67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.
Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.
🙂 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2025.3000
O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

We evaluate science mostly through papers. But researchers report that up to 75% of project effort is data work — collecting, cleaning, documenting, and preparing datasets. A reminder that research outputs ≠ research work.

Most research evaluation still rewards papers, not the work that makes them possible. Yet researchers say up to 75% of a project can be data work: collecting, cleaning, curating, documenting.
https://doi.org/10.1093/reseval/rvag008
Maybe it's time to stop pretending that publications alone represent research.

New paper in Research Evaluation explores how researchers actually cite data. Key insight: data citations are far more complex than simple indicators of data reuse.
https://doi.org/10.1093/reseval/rvag008
They reflect scientific practice, community norms, attribution, and even reputation-building. A timely reminder: metrics alone cannot capture the real value of data work.

Where do bibliometricians come from? 🤔 A new international study suggests a simple answer: mostly from academic libraries. Around 60% of people doing bibliometric work at universities are based there.
https://doi.org/10.1177/01655515261417634
The catch? Over 70% say they never had formal training in bibliometrics. People simply grow into the role while working with databases, indicators and research analytics.

Rare earth elements are at the core of today’s technological and geopolitical competition – from EVs to defence systems. #Ukraine is increasingly part of this landscape.
📊 Ukraine has strong scientific expertise, but it is concentrated in fundamental research, with limited capacity in processing, technology, and patents.

💬 Ukraine has a rare window of opportunity. The question is: quarry or strategic actor?
A real case of how administrative interpretation can block international research collaboration. A Ukrainian researcher was deemed ineligible because a municipal (public) university was not considered “state” 🤯 under a specific interpretation.
This raises important questions about consistency and transparency in international funding schemes.

The Lancet has published a short editorial on the state of Ukraine’s health system after four years of war. A few numbers worth noting:
Over 47,000 civilian casualties.
2,591 attacks on health infrastructure.
359 health workers killed.
68% of Ukrainians report a decline in health.
Among health workers: 81% burnout, 69% anxiety, 61% depression, and only 17% have access to psychosocial support.

Virginia Tech published something many universities still lack: Practical guidance on how to use AI responsibly in research - step by step, across the entire research lifecycle.
Not abstract principles. Concrete prompts. Clear warnings about IP, confidentiality, hallucinations, and dual-use risks. #AI should support thinking — not replace it.
