Article discussing research on the autecology of the fío-fío (Elaenia albiceps Lafresnaye and D'Orbigny) in subantarctic forests of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile.

This article discusses Senda Darwin Biological Station and the work of the scientists who study the anthropological role in ecological processes there.

Article discussing long-term ecological research at the interface between science and society at the Senda Darwin Biological Station (SDBS).

This article contains an examination of habitat selection by radio-tracked juvenile Slender-billed Parakeets (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) at multiple spatial scales in a fragmented agricultural landscape of southern Chile.

Poster presented at the 2013 Ecological Society of America (ESA) Annual Meeting. This poster discusses research on assessing habitat preference of invasive American minks (Neovison vison) using trap-cameras in Navarino Island, Chile.

This paper discusses the University of North Texas' (UNT) Center for the Study of Interdisciplinarity (CSID), where philosophers continue to examine the value of knowledge. The authors also discuss one example of CSID's work with the Comparative Assessment of Peer Review (CAPR) project. CAPR is a four-year project (2008-2012) studying the changing nature of peer review processes across six U.S. and foreign public science agencies. CAPR is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program.

This report is on the workshop 'Transformative Research: Ethical and Societal Implications'. Workshop conversations cluster under the four headings of the history and definitions, promotion, evaluation, and integration of transformative research.

Article discussing theories on the evaluation of philosophy and philosophers and the peer review process.

Article discussing viewpoints on the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Merit Review Broader Impacts Criterion and the emergence of Broader Impacts 2.0.

This report discusses the Comparative Assessment of Peer Review (CAPR) project outcomes. The authors investigate the review process for agencies that fund scientific research.

Article on the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Broader Impacts Merit Review Criterion in relation to the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010.

Article on developing indicators of the impact of scholarly communication and the technical challenges.

In this paper, the author discusses whether open access threatens peer review, as implied by the Association of American Publishers in their endorsement of the Research Works Act. The author suggests that we need to experiment with new models of peer evaluation.

Article discussing research on re-assessing the science to society relation and the case of the U.S. National Science Foundation's broader impacts merit review criterion from 1997 to 2011.

This article discusses the use of societal impacts considerations in grant proposal peer review in scientific and technical research.

Article discussing interdisciplinary communication and reflections on the idea of disciplinary integration.

Article discussing the relationship between knowledge (in the form of scientific risk assessment) and action (in the form of technological innovation) as they come together in policy, which itself is both a kind of knowledge and acting.

This is the report of a workshop focusing on the use of broader societal impacts criteria as part of the review process at the European Commission. There is both a historical account and some thinking about how 'impact' ought to be incorporated into Horizon 2020 (the funding scheme formerly known as FP8). Since the US NSF is also currently rethinking the details of its merit review process, and since there is an interesting comparison between NSF's and the EC's approaches to impact, the authors have also included a focus on NSF's Broader Impacts Criterion. The workshop was both a research opportunity (under SciSIP grant #0830387) and an effort to use that research to help inform policy for science (in terms of informing peer review models).

Article discussing peer review and the ex ante assessment of societal impacts.

Article discussing research on how the resistance to impact criteria can lead to a tightening of the accountability noose.

Article describing changes in the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) merit review criteria. The authors argue that scientists are more likely to preserve their autonomy by embracing - or 'owning' - the new Broader Impacts Criterion rather than resisting it.

Article discussing different ways to indicate the impact of a researcher's scholarly activities.

This article discusses a recent workshop on Transformative Research held at the headquarters of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in Arlington, Virginia.

This article discusses diversity and singularity of the avifauna in the austral peat bogs of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile.
