Summary
This study introduces a new dataset linking institutional Open Science support with research performance. It enables quantitative analysis of academic motivation and publishing behaviors, moving beyond traditional qualitative methods.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Science Policy
- Research Evaluation
Background:
- Understanding the link between institutional policies and academic research practices is crucial.
- Existing research often relies on qualitative methods, limiting large-scale quantitative analysis.
- Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) are increasingly important frameworks in academia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To create a novel, machine-readable dataset for quantitative analysis.
- To investigate the relationship between institutional support for Open Science and research performance.
- To provide insights into academic motivation and publishing behaviors.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of promotion, review, and tenure (PRT) policies from institutions across seven countries.
- Integration of PRT data with bibliometric data on institutional research outputs.
- Normalization and evaluation of data against Open Science and RRI indicators, including MoRRI.
Main Results:
- A unique, normalized dataset is now available for quantitative research.
- The dataset facilitates machine-readable comparisons of institutional Open Science support.
- It enables the study of factors influencing academic research practices and publishing.
Conclusions:
- This dataset represents a significant advancement for quantitative research in science policy and bibliometrics.
- It offers a new tool to explore the impact of institutional support on Open Science adoption and research performance.
- The findings can inform policies aimed at fostering Open Science and responsible research practices.

01:56Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

01:22Bias
3.8K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
12.5K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

2.0K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

01:30Types of Impact
510
Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.
The coefficient of restitution is a metric for understanding the dynamics of impacts. It quantifies the ratio of relative velocity...
