The Program Committee welcomes submissions on all topics in the science of science and innovation, broadly defined. We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners across all disciplines, sectors, and world regions, with a particular encouragement for early-career scholars. Major conference themes include, but are not limited to: AI, agentic science, and new epistemic practices in scientific discovery Global knowledge dynamics and the evolution of scientific fields Government-industry-academia partnerships and innovation systems Societal impacts and public value of science and innovation Science funding in an interconnected, multi-sectoral, and global environment Social stratification, bias, and ethical issues in scientific production and reward Open science, transparency, and reproducibility in research The scientific workforce, precarity, and the trajectory of research careers Theoretical, historical, and conceptual perspectives on science and innovation Causal inference and methodological advances in the science of science and innovation Science communication, public trust, and the governance of emerging technologies Intellectual property, patents, and the geography of technological change

Editorial power in economics journals has a long history.
We analyze 150+ years of board turnover, stability, and governance with new data & methods.
Big patterns, big change.

New publication about funding! In this new piece in @natcomms.nature.com we present data from an evaluation of the lottery-first approach to funding: an initial lottery controlling entry, followed by peer review. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔍 TL;DR
Citation behaviour isn’t a meritocracy.
It’s shaped by social ties and topic overlap.
Let’s rethink how we evaluate research impact.

Dear friends from #ScienceOfScience, @villumfonden.bsky.social has opened a call to study the outcomes of its Villum Experiment. Looks like a chance to advance our understanding of grants
Although I'm not based in Europe, I'm interested in connecting with a European PI who might be planning to apply
Aaron Clauset presents with a screen behind him, facing a crowd of researchers sitting down.
Bias in scientific productivity and prominence - it's about your network.
@aaronclauset.bsky.social's IceLab talk showed how collaboration networks shape the gender productivity gap in academia.

Please could you warn your "scientists" to remain "scientists" ?

An interesting question is *why* we have this pattern. I suspect there are multiple contributing factors, perhaps not all bad. #ScienceOfScience
Fascinating new paper shows that when researchers “pivot” to new areas of work the outcome is less impactful.

Something I find very exciting about our results in this paper : they show that ** homophily is not destiny ** , and we shouldn't assume that it is! Scientists (people) are more adaptable than that, to the great benefit of science as a whole #sociologyofscience #scienceofscience
Analysis of 7,973 psychologists demonstrates these divides. Scientific consensus isn't just about data—our cognitive architectures filter how we process evidence, bolstering persistent divides that resist resolution. #ScienceofScience #CognitiveScience #Conflict #Confusion #CollectiveIntelligence

Science is serendipitous🍀
New research finds "~70% of biomedical papers include outcomes that would not be expected from what scientists proposed in their funding applications"
What a killer stat!!

where might one get data on the guerrila tactics academics doing DEI are taking to fly under the silly regex radar…? 🤔 (euphemistic word changes on academics’ websites using Wayback Machine plus git version control / diff n’ diffs?)
… not that I need a new #ScienceofScience research project 😭😹
