"Die Wissenschaft ist ein feudales System. Und das Peer-Review ist organisiert wie eine konspirative Organisation", sagt der Linzer Wissenschaftsforscher Gerhard Fröhlich. Er fordert mehr Transparenz - sowie eine "Wissenschaftskultur, in der Fehler nicht als größte Schande gelten".
Émile Durkheim was one of the most significant sociologists and ethnologists of the 19th century. He studied in Paris at the 'Ècole normale supérieure' and started teaching social sciences in Bordeaux in 1887.

Scientists reject Harper gov't claims vital material is being saved digitally. By Andrew Nikiforuk, 23 Dec 2013, TheTyee.ca "Scientists say the closure of some of the world's finest fishery, ocean and environmental libraries by the Harper government has been so chaotic that irreplaceable collections of intellectual capital built by Canadian taxpayers for future generations has been lost forever."
Vaclav Klaus über seiner Erfahrung Der moderne gerichtliche Aktivismus ist in vieler Hinsicht ein Ausdruck des alten Glaubens, dass die Demokratie durch die Aristokratie gemäßigt werden muss "(James Grant) "Einrichtungen wie NROs, die als Produkte organisierter Interessengruppen hervorgegangen sind und die auf unpolitische Weise Vorteile und Privilegien erstreben, leugnen ganz unverblümt die Liberalisierung der menschlichen Gesellschaft, die während der vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnte stattgefunden hat."
"Starting in 2003, the scientists began teaming up in public talks in which they lay out their arguments in the form of a conversation. Filmmaker Gus Holwerda picks up this evolution as the pair take their skeptical show on the road, tangling with religious leaders, talk-show hosts and several thousand years of cultural inertia. The result is the feature-length film The Unbelievers, which had its world premiere in Toronto at the Hot Docs festival on Monday night." The Editor: "Christianity is dying, and good riddance, says Richard Dawkins "
14 mars 2013: Les listes de l'Union générale des étudiants de Tunisie ( UGET ) ont remporté la majorité des sièges des conseils scientifiques dans les 165 établissements universitaires.« L'UGET a réalisé un succès historique en nombre de sièges obtenus et en taux de présence dans les établissements universitaires puisqu'on a remporté 295 sièges sur un total de 549 sièges » a déclaré à l'Agence TAP Ezzedine Zaatour, secrétaire général de l'UGET commentant les résultats des élections des conseils scientifiques qui ont eu lieu ces derniers jours. « Notre organisation a obtenu la première place pour ce qui est du nombre de sièges obtenus dans les conseils scientifiques suivie des listes indépendantes.Les listes de l'Union générale Tunisienne des Etudiants ( UGTE ), inféodé au mouvement islamiste Ennahdha au pouvoir, vient en troisième position », a encore expliqué Zaatour.Le représentant de l'UGET a qualifié les élections des conseils scientifiques de »transparentes et démocratiques » saluant la neutralité de l'administration.
En artikel av Leonardo Vintiñi, i Epoch Times 12 oktober 2008 om Cleve Backsters experiment med växter och lögndetektorer i början av 1960-talet och prof Ian Baldwins uppföljande forskning . "Forskare runt om i världen fortsätter att komma med bevis för att växter är mycket mer än de primitiva och passiva varelser som vi en gång trodde. En sådan forskare är Ian Baldwin från institutionen för molekylär ekologi på Max Planck-institutet i Tyskland. Baldwin hävdar att växter inte bara kan avge kemiska substanser för att försvara sig själva mot rovinsekter, utan att de också faktiskt kan kommunicera sinsemellan genom en komplex vokabulär av nukleinsyror."

GigaOm 22 Aug 2012: "Co-founder and CEO Victor Henning told me that the company’s API, which offers other services access to its trove of millions of scientific documents, has just surpassed 100 million calls each month. A year after launching the service — which provides access to the information stored in around 65 million scientific papers, documents and files in Mendeley’s databases — the site has around 240 apps that employ it, and is now seeing growth rocket. And that growth, he said, comes through the increasing popularity of those apps, not through any new, specific effort on its own part."

r att universitetsbiblioteket åtagit sig att distribuera Actas böcker. Detta sker genom att böckerna kan beställas direkt från bibliotekskatalogen eller Actas hemsida. I stället för att böcker trycks i stora upplagor och sedan distribueras från lager, har vi bestämt att alla böcker ska tryckas först när de beställs. Denna distribution kallas också "print-on-demand". alla titlar ska fulltextpubliceras i Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet (DiVA). Fulltextpubliceringen Open Access innebär stor exponering för publikationerna. Erfarenheterna från vår tidigare distributör visar att de titlar som är sökbara i fulltext på Internet också hörde till dem som såldes i fler tryckta exemplar.

Mit der Plattform handbuch.io, die auf der Software MediaWiki basiert, wollen wir demonstrieren, dass wissenschaftliche Literatur heute vollständig im Web geschrieben, gelesen und verbessert werden kann. Geeignet ist die Plattform für 'traditionelle' Buchprojekte, aber auch für Buchprojekte, die als 'Living Book' konzipiert sind, d. h. dass die Autoren ihre Beiträge jederzeit aktualisieren und so neueste Entwicklungen in ihrer Disziplin berücksichtigen können.

Ut ur Afrika-hypotesen eller Out of Africa är en teori om var i världen den anatomiskt moderna människan, Homo sapiens, utvecklades. Enligt denna modell uppstod Homo sapiens endast i Afrika, och samtliga människor härstammar från denna population.[1] En konkurrerande teori, den så kallade multiregionala hypotesen, hävdar istället att Homo sapiens utvecklades parallellt från olika populationer av Homo erectus i både Afrika och Eurasien. Enligt denna teori har ett visst genflöde (genetiskt utbyte) skett mellan de olika befolkningsgrupperna.

However unlike the Green Revolution 30 years ago, there is virtually no more tillable-land available to grow rice. Future gains must be made solely by improving rice yields, and on top of that, there's an imperative to use fewer harmful chemicals as fertilisers and for pest control.
On February 15, 1934, Swiss computer scientist Niklaus Emil Wirth was born. He is best known for designing several programming languages, including Pascal, and for pioneering several classic topics in software engineering. If there is (or better 'was') one programming language that I really loved in the same way I hated it, then it was Pascal. On the one hand it was a rather easy to understand beginners programming language, but when trying to build 'real world' software projects based on Pascal, most of them in my experience were doomed to fail. The largest project based on Pascal that I was involved with was a 2 mio lines of code near realtime application for the military back in the 1990s. Everybody knew, we better should have chosen Ada or C++, but it was not our decision to use Pascal. Believe me, you wouldn't like to maintain 2 mio lines of Pascal code. Nevertheless, the concept of the language designed by Niklaus Wirth was a great achievement for computer science!
On 13 December 1968, the late Garrett Hardin published an essay in Science that was destined to become one of the journal's most requested articles in the subsequent 35 years. Below, we feature links to the original essay, and some of the scientific dialogue that Hardin's controversial ideas have spurred, as played out in the pages of Science.
On March 8, 1931, media theorist, author, and cultural critic Neil Postman was born. He is best known for his works criticizing the increase of the role of technology in every human's life not seeing the dangerous side effects.

In more recent times, scientist have harnessed the power of the public not only to collect data on a larger scale than perhaps would otherwise be possible, but also to analyse data gathered by professional researchers. Such data analysis projects include Zooniverse’s Galaxy Zoo and Cell Slider projects, whilst WheelMap, Wide Noise and the Opal Tree Health Survey focus on data collection.
