Science of Science

ANID-FONDECYT Regular 2026 project on why retracted research continues to be cited and influence scientific knowledge.

The project Collective Memory Decay in Science will study why retracted research continues to be cited and influence scientific knowledge.

A research note on collective memory decay in science and why formal correction does not always erase invalidated knowledge from citation networks.

Abstract: [ENG] The unprecedented growth in social media use and large-scale information collection pose new threats, but also offer new opportunities. Modeling and managing complex interactive systems requires the analysis of social and technological signals to gain new insights into human society and individual behavior.

Abstract: [ENG] We discuss two projects that quantify the consequences of our network location for our access to resources and rewards in science. First, we investigate the dynamics of international science through the lens of national citation preferences, introducing a novel measure to characterize these processes and enabling a network analysis of global knowledge production.
