This paper investigates the impact of publication pressure on the ethics and the scientific integrity in the domain of mathematics and of the arts. Both research fields are specific in their methodology, being that they do not start from a classical hypothesis and researchers in these areas are not knowing what the outcome will be. The research…

This work presents a proposed model in blended learning for a numerical methods course evolved from traditional teaching into a research lab in scientific visualization. The blended learning approach sets a differentiated and flexible scheme based on a mobile setup and face to face sessions centered on a net of research challenges. Model is…

Data from probability samples of U.S. graduate faculty in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and political science are examined to determine whether variation in disciplinary consensus on research priorities and techniques is associated with differences in status-attainment patterns. Results support the hypothesis. (Author/AM)
