To mitigate gender bias, many RFOs have various policies in place. But how are formal gender equality policies implemented in practice by peer review panels? We analyse how one policy, incorporating the sex and gender dimension in research content and innovation (GiRI), is assessed in practice.\u0000Case studies were conducted in selected national RFOs which have implemented GiRI as an element of excellence. Data was collected through panel observations and interviews with staff and reviewers. By bringing in the reviewers’ perspective, we gain insights into how they perceive and discuss this excellence indicator, can identify various assessment practices and ultimately contribute to ongoing discussions on reconstructing excellence and fostering inclusiveness in science. The practical experiences might help RFOs to establish appropriate indicators to measure and monitor progress and fine-tune the policy.","PeriodicalId":334841,"journal":{"name":"27th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI 2023)","volume":"69 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140486519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, scientific fields differ in their research practices and norms for publicly sharing research data. We provide quantitative evidence of differences in data practices and the public sharing of research data at a granularity of field-specificity that is rarely reported in open data surveys. Based on a survey of 8,822 researchers at German Universities, we find considerable variation, within and between disciplines, of data practices and rates of open data sharing. For experimentally oriented subject areas we further observe a relationship between data self-sufficiency and public data sharing which likely reflects a link between data sharing and the epistemic specificity of data. Our findings underline that in order to quantitatively assess and evaluate rates of public data sharing, a better understanding of the embedding of public data sharing into field-specific research practices is needed.","PeriodicalId":334841,"journal":{"name":"27th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI 2023)","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139255588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we utilize publication metadata from Clarivate's Web of Science (WoS) to investigates whether returns to mobility are unevenly distributed between gender and the impact of any observed gender-based disparities on scientific career advancement. Preliminary results explore the gender gap in the likelihood of moving internationally, while the analysis on the returns to mobility is currently being performed by the authors.","PeriodicalId":334841,"journal":{"name":"27th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI 2023)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123419723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept societal impact is here defined as active and potential influential, and interactions between public research organisations (PRO) and governmental agencies and other public bodies in the areas of education and social welfare. We argue that the interactions lead to favourable outputs. We examine interactions, i.e., exchanges between researchers and stakeholders from governmental agencies and public bodies, in which scientifically robust and societally relevant knowledge is constructed and valued. In investigating interactions, we focus on qualitative and quantitative indicators of direct social interactions and indirect interactions through texts (see e.g., Spaape & van Drooge, 2011).","PeriodicalId":334841,"journal":{"name":"27th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI 2023)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122311679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “science-science connect” refers to “sharing of ideas and resources within the knowledge ecosystem”. Though traditionally, science communication happened using journals and conferences but with the penetration of social media, it has grown beyond these boundaries. Therefore, the use of social media for diffusion of scholarly communication into the society has drawn interest across the world.

Results show that Tweeters are more likely to cite papers affiliated with their same institution, papers published in journals in which they also have published, and papers in which they hold authorship. It finds that the older the academic age of a Tweeter the less likely they are to cite what they tweet, though there is a positive relationship between citations and the number of papers they have published and references they have accumulated over time.
