Science Utopia? Closed-Loop LLM Simulation of Academic Research Ecosystems

The paper introduces SciUtopia, a closed‑loop large‑language‑model simulation framework that models the evolving academic research ecosystem, including research direction, collaboration, publication, peer review, funding, and researcher attrition. Running 61 simulation worlds, the system simulates over 40,000 researchers and 1.2 million LLM‑generated peer reviews, revealing that rejection‑driven resubmission increases reviewer burden, cautious exploration balances citation impact with career success, and resource inequality can arise without early‑funding advantage.
