Funding can build world-class research centers. But what happens when the funding ends? In our study published in Research Policy, Arsev Umur Aydınoğlu and I examined 8 centers from Japan's World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) covering both funding and post-funding periods.

Fig 5. Estimated disadvantages for non-native English speakers when conducting different scientific activities. The height of hurdles indicates the
relative length of time taken to read an English-language paper (Reading), to write a paper in English (Writing), and to prepare an oral presentation in
English (Presentation), and the relative frequency of an English-language paper being rejected (Paper rejection) or requested to revise (Paper revision)
due to English writing, for non-native English speakers (Non-native), compared to native English speakers (Native). The values are for non-native
English speakers who have published only one English-language paper (higher value from moderate and low English proficiency nationalities),
compared to the values for native English speakers. This figure is not intended to suggest that science is a race.

Proteins fold in bits and pieces, first forming small structures that eventually coalesce into the native state. But the path is fraught with local traps: the protein must escape these to find the global minimum. If you want a feel for this search process, you should play Quintimble. quintumble.com

We adapt social media tracking as platforms come and go or become places for research comms. We also track a bunch of other pretty interesting metrics like policy, news, Wikipedia and patents. So hopefully it wouldn’t be *completely* meaningless!

I know the post is about short turnaround times for MDPI articles, but scarier to me is how long the tail is for some of these distributions. We are talking about almost 2 years sometimes. How on earth is the career of an ECR supposed to survive that? #Academicsky
