Summary: This study investigates the association between novelty and manuscript acceptance, finding that higher novelty is consistently associated with higher acceptance. Disagreement among peer reviewers was not related to novelty or conventionality, and editors tend to select manuscripts with higher novelty. This challenges the perception that peer review is inherently resistant to novelty.

Summary: WEIG is a new scientometric measure that evaluates the quality of scientific papers published with grant support. Research found that grants from National Science Centre, Poland (NSC) are more effective than those from European Research Council (ERC), especially in the field of Physical Sciences and Engineering. Projects aimed at young scientists tend to have higher average effectiveness, and both agencies are able to maintain overall efficiency despite increasing their budget over the years.

Summary: The Finnish model of peer-group mentoring is based on constructivist learning theory and aims to promote professional development of teachers and educational staff, showing benefits for individual professional learning and well-being. However, challenges arise from the lack of national agreement and allocation of working time for mentors and mentees.

Summary: The study suggests that ex ante and ex post peer review motivate scientists toward different sets of scientific questions. The personal and peer scientific beliefs of reviewers can influence their rankings of proposals and preferences for research questions. Researchers are faced with the challenge of finding projects that can survive both modes of review, creating a tension between ex ante and ex post review.

Summary: Peer review of teaching is crucial for enhancing faculty confidence, improving teaching quality, and fostering discussion among colleagues. The development of a peer review process using a Five-Step Design for Six Sigma methodology could serve as a model for other higher education institutions to enhance teaching excellence and student experience in the face of evolving teaching platforms and student demographics.

Summary: This study found that peer observation has a small but significant effect on adolescent risky decision-making, with peers' expression of risk-seeking preferences being a moderating factor. However, the overall effect size is small and may not be applicable to real-world contexts.

Summary: The research found that scientists from prestigious institutions or certain countries are more likely to receive scientific recognition. However, there was only weak evidence of country- or institution-related status bias in the experiment, suggesting that any plausible bias not detected in the study must be small in size.

Summary: Scholars and managers have long been interested in harnessing the talents of high-performing employees, and a new research stream has emerged to investigate the effects of high performers on their peers. This review aims to synthesize the current state of the high performer literature and establish conceptual clarity, as well as examine the cognitive, affective, and behavioral peer effects sparked by high performers. The review also explores the boundary conditions of these effects and suggests future research avenues.

Summary: News outlets often share scientific research findings that have not yet undergone peer review, with input from the authors. While researchers are aware of the importance of peer review, the general public is not. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers to be cautious and accurate when communicating unpublished work to the public, in order to ensure the dissemination of reliable scientific knowledge and maintain trust in the scientific process and peer review.

Summary: This paper investigates whether the writing style of grant applications affects the evaluation scores and decisions made by selection panels. The linguistic analysis reveals several characteristics that positively influence the grant applications' scores and the probability of being selected for funding. The findings suggest that reviewers consider both the scientific content and the presentation form of grant applications.
