Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Over the past 15 years, we have witnessed, according to some analysts, a trend toward greater heterogeneity in scientific research and a growing affiliation of university researchers with extra-university partners. To this end, governments have actively promoted through diverse policy mechanisms greater collaboration and exchange between universities, businesses and governments. This paper assesses the extent to which collaborative research in Canada influences the nature of scientific production and the level of international scientific collaboration. Beliefs that collaborative research is detrimental to academic research do not seem empirically grounded. However the situation must continue to be monitored.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
