National emphasis on high-level protection reduces risk of biodiversity decline in tropical forest reserves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the correlation between the biodiversity health of protected areas and indices of human population size, wealth, governance quality, the environmental ranking of their respective nation, and national emphasis on reserve protection, and found that, after controlling for variability in socio-economic context, a country's emphasis on implementing high-protection reserves reduces the likelihood of biodiversity decline in its protected areas.

“Publicationism” and scientists’ satisfaction depend on gender, career stage and the wider academic system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an anonymous interview with almost 1000 scientists from the field of the biological sciences, including female and male researchers at all career stages, to investigate potential negative effects of the pressure to publish, but also positive feelings resulting from publishing.

Data constraints, bias and the (mis-)use of scientometrics for predicting academic success: A comment on van Dijk et al.
Jan O. Engler,Martin Husemann +1 more
TL;DR: The authors identify the number of publications, the impact factor of the journals they were published in and high numbers of citations as most important contributors for having a successful career in science, but their predicting algorithm may be discouraging specifically for young researchers working in specific fields of science.
