What we do
Our primary mission
To develop and test innovative theories and methodologies to quantify knowledge, understand its determinants, and forecast its dynamics in science and in society.
How do we do it?
| Information theory | + | Graphs and networks | = | Analytical and empirical modelling |
What we are currently studying ?
Research integrity: What types of research fields are at greater risk from Questionable Research Practices?
Scientific reproducibility: What types of research are less likely to be successfully replicated?
Pseudosciences: Can we measure the level of degeneracy of a research program?
Cognition and consciousness: Is human consciousness just knowledge about itself, and how can we quantify it?
