The action required to stem the environmental and social implications of climate change depends crucially on how humankind shapes technology, economy, lifestyle and policy. With transport CO2 emissions accounting for about a quarter of the total, we examine the contribution of CO2 output by scientific travel. Thankfully for the reputation of the scientific community, CO2 emissions associated wi...

These significant results obscure the role of women CDD in this fight. Indeed, the insufficient involv...

There are a wide variety of scientific contribution rating indices including the impact factor and h-index. These are used for quantitative analyses on research papers published in the past, and therefore unable to incorporate in the assessment the growth, or deterioration, of the research area: whether the research area of a particular paper is in decline or conversely in a growing trend. Othe...
