My analysis of his year's Economics Nobel is out in EPW! What's wrong with the Economics Nobel this time around? I've written a little commentary arguing that the Prize rewards Eurocentric foundations for (innovation-driven) growth and supports a technology fetish. PDF: ingridhk.com/wp-content/u...
It is up to ordinary citizens in the West to do all we can to stop one of history’s great crimes.
Italian workers have shown all of us how it can be done.
The research network has democratized.
- Private-sector participation is growing
- Dependence on a few institutions is decreasing
- Collaboration is expanding

Türkiye’s solar energy research has grown significantly! Its share of global solar energy publications increased from 0.46% (1991–2000) to 1.38% (2011–2020). It acts as a bridge for knowledge exchange between Europe and MENA, thanks to its location & participation in EU Framework Programmes.
Excited to share our research on Türkiye’s solar energy research network (1991–2020) with Yelda Erden Topal & Gülşah Karakaya! 🌞

Fig 5. Estimated disadvantages for non-native English speakers when conducting different scientific activities. The height of hurdles indicates the relative length of time taken to read an English-language paper (Reading), to write a paper in English (Writing), and to prepare an oral presentation in English (Presentation), and the relative frequency of an English-language paper being rejected (Paper rejection) or requested to revise (Paper revision) due to English writing, for non-native English speakers (Non-native), compared to native English speakers (Native). The values are for non-native English speakers who have published only one English-language paper (higher value from moderate and low English proficiency nationalities), compared to the values for native English speakers. This figure is not intended to suggest that science is a race.
lol at last line of caption: "This figure is not intended to suggest that science is a race." The treachery of images! (source doi.org/10.1371/jour...)

Proteins fold in bits and pieces, first forming small structures that eventually coalesce into the native state. But the path is fraught with local traps: the protein must escape these to find the global minimum.

Finally! Zotero is now available in beta form for android devices, play.google.com/store/apps/d..., get it while it´s hot, they are still limiting the number of downloads during the beta testing phase.
🚨 Preprint! We combine our recent open dataset of #APC prices with the article counts per journal-year from #OpenAlex to estimate how much the academic community has paid in APCs over the last 5 years.
A. $8.349 billion ($8.968 B in 2023 USD)
$2.5B in 2023 alone.

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:

Türkiye Bilim Çalışmaları Başlangıç Paketi. Yeni insanlar Bluesky'a geldikçe ekliyorum ancak gözümden kaçanlar olabiliyor. Eksikleri bildirirseniz sevinirim. go.bsky.app/9KgsdQe #Türkiye #Turkey
I made a starter pack with as many of the Twitter folk I follow that I could find:
go.bsky.app/9u9wdBc
go.bsky.app/H4NcX46
SciSci starter packs!
Adding a second starter pack here since we ran out of capacity with the first one: go.bsky.app/NeZvnb5
The first one can be found here: go.bsky.app/2R1E4TD
Please nominate or self-nominate with an example work.
Please share!
#AcademicSky #SciSci #SciPol #metascience
Here is the starter pack for folks in science of science, meta science, STS, philosophy of science, history of science, economics of science, science policy, AI+science, and so on.
Feel free to nominate and self-nominate!

We adapt social media tracking as platforms come and go or become places for research comms. We also track a bunch of other pretty interesting metrics like policy, news, Wikipedia and patents. So hopefully it wouldn’t be *completely* meaningless!
I started an economics of science and innovation starter pack, let me know who to add!

We were surprised by a recent #Frontiers blog. They make derogatory statements, accuse us of data manipulation & mischaracterize our comms with them. 😔
Critiques of our work are welcome. Falsehoods about us and our work are not. Here we set the record straight. 1/7 #SciPub #AcademicSky #PeerReview
I know the post is about short turnaround times for MDPI articles, but scarier to me is how long the tail is for some of these distributions. We are talking about almost 2 years sometimes. How on earth is the career of an ECR supposed to survive that? #Academicsky
Guest Post — There is More to Reliable Chatbots than Providing Scientific References: The Case of ScopusAI scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2024/02/21/g...
Did you know Scopus has an #AI tool, called ScopusAI? Teresa Kubacka gave it a try.
