Since the initial development of charged particle colliders in the middle of the 20th century,
these advanced scientific instruments have been at the forefront of scientific discoveries in …

We live and cooperate in networks. However, links in networks only allow for pairwise
interactions, thus making the framework suitable for dyadic games, but not for games that …

Novelty indicators are increasingly important for science policy. This paper challenges the
indicators of novelty as an atypical combination of knowledge (Uzzi et al., 2013) and as the …

Interdisciplinary research is on the rise globally. Yet, several studies have shown that it often
achieves lower impact compared to more specialized work, and is less likely to attract …

Recent empirical evidence has shown that in many real-world systems, successfully
represented as networks, interactions are not limited to dyads, but often involve three or …

The scientific ecosystem relies on citation-based metrics that provide only imperfect,
inconsistent and easily manipulated measures of research quality. Here we describe …

In scientific research, collaboration is one of the most effective ways to take advantage of
new ideas, skills, and resources and for performing interdisciplinary research. Although …

It is generally acknowledged that researchers who cross the boundary of disciplines are
more likely to produce novel outputs. The knowledge exchanges contributed by boundary …

The exchange of knowledge across different areas and disciplines plays a key role in the
process of knowledge creation, and can stimulate innovation and the emergence of new …

Science advances by pushing the boundaries of the adjacent possible. While the global
scientific enterprise grows at an exponential pace, at the mesoscopic level the exploration …
