A paper posted online last month has reignited a debate about one of the oldest, most startling claims in the modern era of network science: the proposition that most complex networks in the real world 鈥 from the World Wide Web to
To the Editor:Today鈥檚 hyper-competitive environment makes it easy to forget that academe wasn鈥檛 always organized around measuring and rewarding merit. In fact, the simple idea that merit could be assessed from publications, and that scholarship
The canonical story of faculty productivity goes like this: A researcher begins a tenure-track position, builds their research group, and publishes as much as possible to make their case for being awarded tenure. After getting tenure, increased
For 60 years, studies of everyone from psychologists to biologists to mathematicians have shown the same remarkably similar academic research trajectory: Scientists publish prolifically early in their careers, peak after about five years, get tenure
Amidst the vast and varied ecosystem of modern science, the emerging interdisciplinary field known as the 鈥渟cience of science鈥 is exploring a difficult, but provocative, question: In the age of data science, are future discoveries now predictable?In
