Merit or networks? What decides where research is published

Does scientific publishing reward the quality of ideas or the advantage of connections? The question is universal to prestige-driven science, yet it has resisted decades of study because a paper's quality could not be gauged ahead of its publication fate without using that fate as the yardstick.

Knowledge Index of Noah's Ark

arXiv:2606. 05104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge benchmarks for LLMs face three issues: scaling-driven designs that do not operationalize disciplinary representativeness; flat-payment annotation that permits lazy consensus; and unaudited ranking instability under bounded test budgets.

Generating Interesting Scientific Ideas using Knowledge Graphs and LLMs: Evaluations with 100 Research Group Leaders

The paper introduces SciMuse, an AI system that generates personalized research ideas by combining a knowledge graph of 58 million papers with a large language model. A large-scale evaluation involving over 100 research group leaders across disciplines rated more than 4,400 ideas, yielding modest overall interest scores but showing that 24.9% were rated highly. The study also demonstrates that graph-derived features can predict idea interest and can be used to control idea properties, offering a new methodology for generating and assessing scientific ideas.
