New Concept of Space-time with Mathematical Measurements derived from the Holy Quran

This paper proposes a new concept of space-time with mathematical measurements derived from a specific interpretation of the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Kahf, verse 25), claiming to establish a theoretical scale smaller than Planck's limits and offering potential solutions to problems in the theory of everything through a correlation between Quranic verses and scientific findings.

Closing the EP–Cap gap: a global spectrum of research-integrity governance

This paper argues that research-integrity failures stem from a structural imbalance where the leverage of talent titles outweighs the expected penalties for misconduct, and it proposes a global governance spectrum ranging from stable to collapsed systems, using Germany's rigorous model of criminal referrals and fund recovery as a benchmark to restore evolutionary stability in scientific inquiry.

Promotion-linked authorship signals: A five-signal bibliometric framework and validation study of highly cited researchers in China

This paper proposes and validates a five-signal bibliometric framework for analyzing promotion-linked authorship-credit signals using highly cited researchers in China, demonstrating that while publication output, authorship-role positioning, and management-output tension can be operationalized from public records, co-authorship and field expansion require richer metadata.

Exploring Complexity: A Framework for Cross-Domain Complex System Mapping

This paper proposes an analogy-based analytical framework for mapping complex systems across domains by decomposing them into essential mid-scale processes and reconstructing their dynamics, demonstrating through case studies on AI's workforce impact and barnacle-predator interactions that meaningful cross-domain transfer is possible when systems share a comparable sequence of elemental interactions.
