Analyzing 1M Spotify users, we show how “wide social influence” exposes people to content beyond their usual repertoires—decoupling collective outcomes from initial preferences. The key: partial taste overlap between senders and receivers. Too little similarity, no influence; too much, no novelty.

Knowledge lost, parity gained? COVID-19 and gender gaps in Dutch academia - Scientometrics
We investigated the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacted long-standing gender inequalities in Dutch academia. Dutch academia is an ideal case to gain insight on exacerbated gender differentials due to COVID-19 on employees, because men and women face comparable institutional contexts and any COVID-19 impact becomes visible and measurable fast through potentially decreased yearly publications. We reconstructed the complete publishing careers up till 2022 of more than 8000 Dutch scientists who received a PhD from 1990 onwards and still had an active publication career before the pandemic started. We compared the publication dip between men and women during COVID-19. Our data allowed us to investigate whether the gendered impact of COVID-19 varied across research domains, different PhD cohorts and type of research output. We consistently find that COVID-19 did not have more severe consequences on research output for women than for men.

There's an large uptick in papers published in the year before researchers attain tenure, a new analysis shows. From there it diverges: those in fields that have labs (eg biology, chemistry) keep churning papers, while those that aren't (eg sociology, math) see a decline in papers.

Do academics publish less after getting tenured? Depends on your field
Paper output varies between disciplines, as does the trend after tenure is achieved.

Objection by the German Sociological Association (DGS) to the Exclusion of the Israeli Sociological Society (ISS) from the International Sociological Association (ISA)
On June 29, 2025, the International Sociological Association (ISA) announced the suspension of the collective membership of the Israeli Sociological Society (ISS) and subsequently reaffirmed this decision. The German Sociological Association (DGS) explicitly rejects this decision by the ISA. The ISA cited as its reason for suspending the ISS's membership that the ISS “has not taken a clear position condemning the dramatic situation in Gaza.” From the perspective of the DGS board, it is incompatible with the principles of an international scientific community—such as the ISA claims to represent—to demand a specific form of distancing from acts of war from the Israeli sociological society, or to hold it accountable for the actions of its country’s government. Such a demand has a discriminatory effect and undermines the principle of scientific cooperation on equal footing. Furthermore, it presumes the authority to decide from the outside which forms of protest are appropriate and possible under certain conditions. In this suspension, stricter criteria are being applied to the Israeli society than to societies from other countries. The ISS responded to the exclusion with its own statement, which reads: “We share the deep concern and anguish over the horrifying scale of destruction, death, and human suffering inflicted upon the people of Gaza by the Israeli government. We also share the hope for an end to the violence and war, for an agreement that will secure the release of all Israeli hostages, and for a just political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” The DGS agrees with the ISS’s assessment that the suspension also massively weakens spaces for criticism and academic freedom in Israel. Sociological research should be promoted through collaboration, especially in times of armed conflict, authoritarianism, and growing antisemitism and racism, rather than being hindered. The boycott of institutions is followed by the boycott of individuals; many Israeli academics are currently experiencing this more intensely. However, solidarity must not be limited to individuals but must also include the professional societies to which they belong and by which they are represented in international associations. The DGS speaks up for open discourse and for solidarity with Israeli and Palestinian colleagues, as well as with sociologists working under repressive and warlike conditions worldwide. The suspension of the ISS by the ISA undermines the fundamental principle of academic solidarity and sends a problematic signal by isolating academic organizations under political pressure instead of protecting them.
