What we have learnt testing container-platforms for peer review and publication of code

The trial phase of this initiative is now officially over, and we would like to share the experience and outcomes, and provide an overview of what comes next.  Read more

Posted by Mark Staniland | Categories: Research funding

Creating a world without Parkinson’s 200 years after 'An Essay on the Shaking Palsy'

This year, we mark 200 years since James Parkinson published his famous monograph, An Essay on the Shaking Palsy. In that time, we have reached many key milestones in science that have dramatically improved the lives of the ten million people worldwide who live with Parkinson’s.  Yet we still have nothing to slow the disease and nothing to stop it.  Read more

All that glitters is not gold

Do you know what good research looks like? One of the great successes of research management in leading research economies is that it is usually equitable and fair in judgements about who gets the jobs, who gets the grants and who gets the recognition.
