"More research is needed" is an iconic catchphrase used by scientists worldwide. Yet policy and management decisions are continually being made with variable levels of reliance on scientific knowledge. ...

Although both Republican and Democratic committees cited more science in their policy documents over time, Democratic-controlled committees were nearly 1.8 times more likely to do so. In addition, committees that transitioned from Republican- to Democratic-party control made, on average, 196 more science citations after the transition.
Even in the best of research papers, the concluding paragraph will most likely end with: ‘more research is needed’ or the paraphrase ‘further research is required’. To be honest, we may never reach an endpoint in scientific research, mainly because science is a continuous process (you can argue that this sounds like a cliché too).
The other thing to consider is that 'what is well researched today and fades will someday need researching again' as social and academic contexts change over relatively short periods of time. Cite ...
Several trends are reshaping academic publishing: The rise of online-only, open-access platforms has made scholarly research more accessible to a global audience; altmetrics and social media engagement now complement traditional citations as measures of research impact; and researchers and readers alike increasingly prefer concise, interactive formats for sharing and consuming academic work ...
Recognizing the need to improve the uptake of research into regulation (specifically the Water Framework Directive), the water directors of the EU and associated States funded an ad hoc science-policy interface (SPI) activity with the goals of identifying relevant available research as well as research gaps and improving the transfer and ...
In our user research ethics policy, we say that we balance the safeguarding of participants with the need to include their voices. One of the ways we can do this is by being flexible about how we ...
We wouldn’t know that, even though bees are not our favorites, they do a job that help us all. Without research, we could not possibly have survived as long as we have. And there are still millions of things that have yet to be discovered: diseases to cure, waters to explore, species to discover. All of that is possible with research.
“More research is needed” has become a common scientific cliché. It is difficult to think of any situation for which more research is not needed. ... Do we need more observational studies on this topic? Perhaps. We still need to better estimate risk, particularly in sub-populations. Do we need more observational studies to demonstrate that ...
In its simplest form, research is about investigating the world around us to increase our knowledge, so we can work out how to do things better. In health care, we use a scientific approach to carry out research; there is a set way of doing things that ensures research is done in a logical way, and that results are published widely, so that ...
Therefore we need more randomized trials of self-efficacy training. Despite conflicting interpretations (based largely on the value attached to benefits versus those attached to harms) of the numerous large, population-wide breast cancer screening studies undertaken to date, we need more large, population-wide breast cancer screening studies.
'More research is needed', says Phillips, "is really an economic statement". It's a claim that the benefit of the new information to policy-makers would outweigh the cost of the study.
My move from clinical medicine to the BMJ as a junior editor 20 years ago meant learning a host of new rules. The best of them are still part of our every day on the journal. When judging research, we were taught to ask three questions on behalf of the reader: “do I understand it, do I believe it, do I care?” though not always in that order. When editing we were taught to think of the ...
We’ve seen universities and funders continually increase the demands they make. Researchers are required to do more and more beyond their actual research. Back in what seem like the ancient days, scientists were largely tasked with things like, well, doing research, along with teaching, and some level of mentoring and serving on committees.
Future research will expand the scope to include additional countries, allowing for a more comprehensive comparison of global research cultures. Additionally, we aim to investigate how regional, institutional, and disciplinary factors influence research practices and collaboration across borders, providing a deeper understanding of ...
