The biggest threat to U.S. leadership in #AI isn't speed - it's security. As Juergen Wastl writes for Nextgov, America’s blind spot in the AI race is #ResearchSecurity. Weak safeguards risk exposing IP, sensitive data & strategic capabilities. 🔗 Read his article: https://ow.ly/o7LZ50X2LGQ

Excellent piece by my colleague @mcintold.bsky.social in her #forensic #scientometrics substack on "Science Manipulations: Myths and Truths"https://open.substack.com/pub/fosci/p/science-manipulations-myths-and-truths?r=4go78w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Finally, our research musings meet @altmetric.com - @helenedraux.bsky.social highlights how real breakthroughs rest on decades of work and why we need metrics that reflect that full lineage, not just one article. based on an interesting example: researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-long-r...

Here our piece ( @digital-science.com together with Peter Kolarz from Research On Research Institute (@rorinstitute.bsky.social)) on how Funders themselves need scrutiny if we want fair, unbiased decisions and a healthy research ecosystem.

Excellent inaugural post by @helenedraux.bsky.social and @kowb.bsky.social for the new series on #research #metrics highlighting disciplinary trend and focus - and kudos for sharing the code for #reproducibility

This post began on a train when I heard someone point out Google Maps' different labels for the "Gulf of Mexico/America." It got me thinking about frequent name changes, evolving metadata standards, impact on scientometric research, and accessibility researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-gulf-o...

📣 NEW on the Research Musings Substack: What impact does "Gulf of America" have on research? @jwastl.bsky.social writes that when it comes to metadata, we need to bridge the gap (...or gulf?) between different names of geographical areas. 🔗 Read now: researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-gulf-o...

It started as a piece about geographic names changes, but it also reflects about metadata standards, what these mean for research, and how to overcome discrepancies. Data provision and accessability is more acute than ever

The reviewer paradox: more publications, fewer peers? researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-review...

Can we measure the impact of political ideology on research? Yes! By analyzing publications data in Dimensions. Senior Data Scientist @helenedraux.bsky.social writes, "The politics of genetics: how ideology shaped science in the former Soviet Union". 🔗 researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-politi...

Remarkably, @helenedraux.bsky.social of @digital-science.com published this at the same time as our thread on the survival of bad ideas against evidence. This one was politically and geographically ring-fenced. Lysenko and beyond: researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-politi...
