Serendipity and scientific styles
The generalizability of results from large-scale studies of science has often relied on the extent to which the studies can adequately control for differences across fields. However, disciplinary differences are not well understood. In this paper, we examine the extent to which disciplinary differences can be detected from inconsistencies in the use of a single word: serendipity. Drawing on Wittgenstein and an ordinary language analysis, we exami…
Making modafinil
How does a compound become a drug, and how do we decide for whom the drug is intended? Building a history of modafinil, this article examines how classification and serendipity affect drug development. We explore how mental health categories interact with drug development by tracing: how compound CRL40,476 was inadvertently created while exploring other compounds, and then became a focal point for development efforts; and how it secured Schedule …
Cross-disease spillover from research funding
There is widespread appreciation for the role of research in addressing health problems. However, there is limited evidence on the extent to which research can be targeted to specific diseases. Analyses highlighting a concentration of research funding towards certain diseases have prompted growing scrutiny over the allocation of research funding. In this paper, we show that research funding targeted to a disease often results in publications rela…
The spread of retracted research into policy literature
Retractions warn users against relying on problematic evidence. Until recently, it has not been possible to systematically examine the influence of retracted research on policy literature. Here, we use three databases to measure the extent of the phenomenon and explore what it might tell us about the users of such evidence. We identify policy-relevant documents that cite retracted research, we review and categorize the nature of citations, and we…
Attitudes to vaccination
This paper provides a consolidated overview of public and healthcare professionals' attitudes towards vaccination in Europe by bringing together for the first time evidence across various vaccines, countries and populations. The paper relies on an extensive review of empirical literature published in English after 2009, as well as an analysis of unpublished market research data from member companies of Vaccines Europe. Our synthesis suggests that…
