Métodos para la caracterización del sistema de revisión por pares de artículos científicos
2022
El proceso de revisión por pares constituye una pieza clave de los engranajes que componen el sistema de publicación de la ciencia. Este vela por la calidad, integridad, reproducibilidad y robustez de los trabajos que se envían a las revistas científicas y es objeto continuo de estudio y discusión en la comunidad científica, involucrando a autores, editores y revisores en una tarea conjunta plagada de procesos sociales que se manifiestan a modo de negociación entre las diferentes partes, asumiendo el editor el papel de árbitro. A su vez, el proceso de revisión por pares es la insignia de calidad de las propias revistas. Mantener unos altos estándares y hacer del sistema de revisión un eleme…
Examining Open Innovation in Science (OIS): what Open Innovation can and cannot offer the science of science
2021
Scholars across disciplines increasingly hear calls for more open andcollaborative approaches to scientific research. The concept of OpenInnovation in Science (OIS) provides a framework that integratesdispersed research efforts aiming to understand the antecedents,contingencies, and consequences of applying open and collaborativeresearch practices. While the OIS framework has already been taken upby science of science scholars, its conceptual underpinnings requirefurther specification. In this essay, we critically examine the OIS conceptand bring to light two key aspects: 1) how OIS builds upon OpenInnovation (OI) research by adopting its attention to boundary-crossingknowledge flows and by…
Science of success: An introduction
2019
Performance and success are often used as synonyms to express individual accomplishment. However, from a scientific perspective they cover very different concepts: performance is about individual effort, while success is a collective quantity capturing the community's acknowledgment of effort and performance. In these notes, we investigate the quantitative rules that govern both, trying to model their interdependence within the framework of complex systems. We explore different fields, ranging from online crowdfunding platforms to academia, with the idea of applying scientifically sound methods to uncover the universal laws that determine the allocation of merit in science and society.
