Digital Science is partnering with HERSA to support universities across the UK in boosting research security and integrity. The collaboration will help institutions develop a Trusted Research Hub and host a dedicated community forum for export control and research security practitioners.
A bibliometric analysis of global advances in cell and gene therapy reveals uneven progress, with US and China leading the field. Japan's contributions are significant but lack qualitative influence.
Two US-based teams, FigureTwo and Syntheos, have won Digital Science's 2025 Catalyst Grant for their innovative data visualization projects. FigureTwo transforms static figures into interactive visuals, while Syntheos maps ideas across research communities to show impact.
A study compares article-level metrics with journal-level metrics, finding that most influential papers are published in lower-tier journals. Article-level data provides more recognition to most researchers than journal-level metrics.
A new AI tool has identified over 1,000 'questionable' scientific journals, including those that charge hundreds or thousands of dollars to publish research without proper vetting. The AI system uses six criteria to evaluate journals, including editorial board composition and website quality.
A new analysis of data on scientists with exceptional early-career success identified common characteristics, including affiliation with institutions in less developed countries and work in specific fields. These findings could aid efforts to distinguish stellar talent from problematic behaviors.
Bloomsbury is introducing Altmetric Explorer to track social attention and sharing of its publications, providing insights into reach, impact, and value. The tool will inform future editorial strategy and improve reader engagement.
The Digital Science relaunches its Scientometric Researcher Access to Data (SRAD) program, offering non-commercial scientometric studies free access to Altmetric and Dimensions data. The expanded program also provides access to Dimensions on BigQuery, enabling researchers to answer complex questions with big data.

The study reveals a positive trend in scientific production on sustainability topics, with the US leading research. Academic clusters focus on education for sustainable development, engineering education, and environmental projects. Higher education is strongly committed to sustainability, aligning programs with SDGs.
A recent study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the art market spanning 50 years, highlighting key trends and emerging themes. The analysis found consistent annual increase in research interest, significant shifts from hedonic art prices to topics such as artist branding and digital platforms.
This study uses machine learning to analyze plant science research topics and reveal shifts in model systems and country-specific research focus. The analysis provides insights into the evolution of plant science research in different countries.
The world of science remains highly disruptive, driven by collaborative teams and new findings, despite individual contributions shrinking. Collective disruption is as strong or stronger than it was fifty years ago.
A new dataset examines publication patterns across 170 academic disciplines to provide more nuanced comparisons. The data reveals significant variation in publishing activity and venue preferences among scholars.
Researchers found that small groups of scientists are key in generating emerging topics in life sciences and medicine. The study analyzed PubMed data and author lists to identify past and current emerging keywords, revealing that smaller teams with fewer publications were crucial for generating high-performance keywords.
