  • Artificial intelligence in academic research

    Open AccessAlessandro Muscio, Sotaro ShibayamaARTICLETechnology in Society2026

    The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly expanding across various professional domains, including academia. Yet, limited empirical evidence exists on which academics are adopting AI, how it influences their research productivity, and what implications it holds for their skillsets. Contributing to ongoing debates on the impact of AI on scientific work, this study draws on original data from a recent large-scale survey of Italian academic…

  • Resilience configurations as a core element of innovation policies

    Open AccessAlessandro Muscio, Matias Barberis Rami et al.ARTICLERegional Studies Regional Science2026References: 80

    There is a persistent gap in understanding how innovation policy contributes to building societal resilience.

    Open AccessAlessandro Muscio, Fumi KitagawaARTICLESmall Business Economics2025

We examine the types of drivers th…
