Open scholarly metadata is actually such a huge mess, especially for monographs, edited volumes, grey lit, i.e. anything that isn't an english STEM journal article.
Which actually explains so much about why the "metascience" scene is how it is....

Thoughts: Replications and RR are on the rise, but not all are conducted appropriately, and become meaningless.

Leydesdorff: bibliometric analysis and mapping of his scientific production
This is an interesting bibliometric study of the life's work of a prominent researcher.

UKRI Metascience AI early career fellowships
https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/ukri-metascience-ai-early-career-fellowships/
Call Open today, closes 10 April 2025 4:00pm UK time
If you have the AI/ML skills and want to bolster the scale and impact of your research by plugging into the most exciting metascience team in the world, please get in touch with @RoRInstitute about us supporting your fellowship application
Is anyone doing research on how hierarchies in different fields impact the research (quality)?
My hypothesis is that the more hierarchical a field the more difficult the collaboration and the lower the quality.

Peer Review in the Age of Large Language Models – Call for Abstracts
ART-AI · Peer Review in the Age of Large Language Models - Call for Abstracts - ART-AIWe are inviting you to submit an abstract for the 'Peer Review in the Age of Large Language Models' workshop taking place on 14th May 2025 at the University of Bath.
Researchers planning to do #SystematicReviews must now plan to filter out the #JunkScience. That's difficult, time-consuming, error-prone, and demoralizing. It causes some researchers to drop their plans and forces others to move more slowly.
