How science makes environmental controversies worse
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the idea that scientific inquiry is inherently and unavoidably subject to becoming politicized in environmental controversies, and conclude that the value bases of disputes underlying environmental controversies must be fully articulated and adjudicated through political means before science can play an effective role in resolving environmental problems.

Does Interdisciplinary Research Lead to Higher Citation Impact? The Different Effect of Proximal and Distal Interdisciplinarity.
TL;DR: These results may be interpreted as suggesting that scientific audiences are reluctant to cite heterodox papers that mix highly disparate bodies of knowledge—thus giving less credit to publications that are too groundbreaking or challenging, as distal interdisciplinary research might be too risky and more likely to fail.
