planning for productivity factors of engineering resources is the main concern that should be addressed in the training and engineering management in different organizations. productivity of engineering resources, which eventually results in the organizational productivity, may be viewed from different perspectives. one of the best approaches is to study the engineering resources productivity w...

Scientific collaborations shape novel ideas and new discoveries and help scientists to advance their scientific career through publishing high impact publications and grant proposals. Recent studies however show that gender inequality is still present in many scientific practices ranging from hiring to peer review processes and grant applications. While empirical findings highlight that collabo...

Every year, a considerable amount of money is being invested on research, mainly in the form of funding allocated to universities and research institutes. To better distribute the available funds and to set the most proper R&D investment strategies for the future, evaluation of the productivity of the funded researchers and the impact of such funding is crucial. In this paper, using the data on...

Computational scientists face many challenges when developing software that runs on large-scale parallel machines. However, their software development processes have not previously been studied in much detail by software engineering researchers. To better understand the nature of software development in this context, we examined five largescale computational science software projects, known as ...
