Three ways to recognize hidden labour in research nature.com/articles/d4158…

Open access is working — but researchers in lower-income countries enjoy fewer benefits nature.com/articles/d4158…

“Science has changed a lot (...) but fundamentally, we still write papers like we did 100 years ago, in a way that doesn’t prioritize methods and data analysis.” Amanda Heidt reports on how the publishing platform Curvenote is working to change that. go.nature.com/46DJRqO

Tasked with finding better ways to conduct, distribute and fund research, the unit could set the standard for government-led ‘science of science’ initiatives. go.nature.com/4dwmFNq

This interview with National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) founder Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. is a real highlight in our series of #Changemakers for Nature Careers. As told to Esme Hedley ‘There’s a lot of privilege masquerading as merit’: why inclusion matters in academia nature.com/articles/d4158…

'50 citations for $300': Research-integrity watchers are concerned about the growing ways in which scientists can fake or manipulate citation counts — my latest for nature: nature.com/articles/d4158… Talal Rahwan, Yasir Zaki, Manuel Ansede, Guillaume Cabanac ⟨here and elsewhere⟩, Nick Wise

#QNS is covered in the Nature Index Supplement on Korean research and featured on the front cover! This article on South Korea's efforts to internationalize R&D also recognizes how QNS has played a key role in advancing research in South Korea: nature.com/articles/d4158… nature

Research on Research? Late last year, the U.K. launched a #Metascience unit to give grants for researchers to study how policies, funding, & organizations can conduct & support R&D more effectively. Dalmeet Singh Chawla | ਦਲਮੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਚਾਵਲਾ reports for Nature Index: nature.com/articles/d4158…

The study adds to the growing body of evidence that such biases can affect all researchers in a field. go.nature.com/3SWlvmL

I spoke to Lukas Röseler (Lukas Röseler), based at the Universität Münster, about his crowdsourced database of replication studies — my latest for nature : nature.com/articles/d4158… Nature Index

“There’s a huge amount of money that has suddenly been assigned to international research. With this comes many opportunities." go.nature.com/4cEmMWE

South Korea is ramping up efforts to attract more of the world’s students and scientists. Fixing an unacceptable gender pay gap must also be a priority. go.nature.com/3Ml29DX

Faced with the fastest declining population in the world, South Korea must do more to bolster its highly skilled workforce. go.nature.com/3ABupzB

South Korea’s record of adaptability and reinvention might stand it in good stead as it strives to get back on track. go.nature.com/3YZw649

Integrating sex and gender as variables in study design is key to ensuring robust results. But it is not being done nearly enough. go.nature.com/4g5wJiJ
