Summary: Good Scientific Practice (GSP) refers to rules, recommendations, and guidelines that help scientists produce high-quality work and share it with the community. In the context of MEEG research, GSP includes technical standards and guidelines, as well as a consideration of personal, organizational, and societal factors.

Summary: This study presents the views of 212 U.S.-based scientists on the governance of human genome editing research. Most scientists do not believe that scientists should self-govern human genome editing research due to conflicts of interest, the inevitability of rare bad apples, historical evidence to the contrary, and the limitations of scientific expertise. Scientists emphasize interdisciplinary professional and public input in governing human gene editing research.

Summary: Young volunteers in citizen science projects on the iNaturalist platform display different observation behavior compared to all users, focusing more on molluscs, arachnids, and insects. The study found that the average daily contributions of young volunteers are positively associated with active days and systematic contribution behavior on iNaturalist, but negatively related to long duration on the platform.

Summary: This paper constructs mobility and cooperation networks of Chinese scientists based on urban-scale data, and reveals the relationship and characteristics between these two networks through various analysis methods. The study finds that the mobility and scientific research cooperation activities of Chinese scientists are concentrated in the eastern region, with only a few cities playing important roles. Furthermore, Beijing serves as a significant city in both networks.

Summary: This article pays tribute to Dr. Ulrich (Uli) Kogelschatz, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of his article in this journal, which has become a must-read review paper in the field of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas. The author reminisces about the personal and professional impact of his contacts with Uli, outlining a few selected examples that still influence his research today.

Summary: Animal cognition research aims to understand animal minds using diverse methods across different species. Researchers are concerned about biases in the field, with many studies going unpublished due to negative or inconclusive results. While replication studies are considered important, they are not frequently performed in animal cognition research.

Summary: In this article, the authors propose the institution Q model (IQ) and its two variants (IQ-2 and IQ-3) to evaluate individual-level research ability in publishing high-quality scientific papers. The models integrate information about scientists' institutions, countries, and collaborators to jointly evaluate their research ability across different institutions. The effectiveness of the models is tested on synthetic and empirical data, showing that they can accurately quantify research ability and predict scientific impact more effectively than existing models. The study contributes to the idea of incorporating the academic environment into scientific evaluation.

Summary: This study evaluates gender parity in scientific authorship in biomedical research, specifically in publications from NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre. Results show that female authors are significantly underrepresented in various authorship categories, with male authors having higher impact factors when serving as first corresponding authors. However, both male and female authors at first and last authorship positions publish in equally prestigious journals.

Summary: By studying scientists in China's "Project 985" universities in the field of chemistry, we found differences in structural positions between Distinguished Young Scholars (DYSs) and non-Distinguished Young Scholars (non-DYSs) in the scientific community. Our results indicate that DYSs have a better capability to utilize the social capital embedded in their research collaboration networks to improve research performance, with Ph.D. mentors potentially playing a critical role in their scientific success.

Summary: This article discusses the importance of resilience in cardiovascular health. Resilience is the ability of biological systems to maintain homeostasis in response to stressors or challenges, and it includes factors such as energy management, immune system, and social support. The article also highlights the challenges and opportunities for resilience research, including using existing clinical data to assess resilience and developing quantitative models to study resilience factors and mechanisms.

Summary: This study explores the meanings of virtues in scientific practice and their role in ethics and research integrity training through face-to-face focus group discussions. Participants differed in their definitions and understandings of virtues, viewing them as social constructs acquired through social interactions. Certain virtues were considered more important in research as they are necessary for responsible conduct, according to participants.

Summary: Certain fields of research are influenced by their proximity with policy-makers and administrations. Scientists' engagement with policy-making varies from one individual to another. The contact between scientists and policy realm may lead to changes in the social organization of research work.

Summary: Lean management is a new organizational vision applied in the healthcare and administrative sector, inspired by the automotive industry, aiming to emphasize value and reduce waste through process analysis. This approach could serve as a cost-effective solution for production companies during times of economic constraints. The study analyzes the presentation and initial management of ministerial research projects in an Italian research institute, examining both the current obstacles faced by users and conducting perspective analyses with reference indicators to explore the potential benefits of implementing a Lean model in 2021.

Summary: The opioid crisis in the United States has resulted in a significant number of deaths and is expected to continue to rise. Recent settlements in litigation have provided access to previously confidential corporate documents related to the opioid industry. These documents offer insights into the operations and strategies of manufacturers and other actors in the opioid supply chain. The availability of these documents is important for researching the causes and effects of the opioid crisis, as well as understanding the role of corporate actors in public health outcomes.
