Why does research in finance have so little impact?
The quantity of finance research has grown enormously over the past two decades, yet questions remain over its breadth and ability to benefit the economy and society beyond academia. Using multisource data, we argue that individual and institutional incentives have fostered insularity and a consequent homogeneity in the discipline. We examine the characteristics of research that is published and cited in the leading field journals in finance, arguing that the work has become abstract and unrelated to real world issues. The work published in the âtopâ journals makes increasing use of US data, even where the researchers are drawn from different countries. Using information from impact assessment, publication patterns, and grant capture, we illustrate that this narrow agenda lacks relevance to the financial services sector, the economy or wider society compared to other areas of business and management research. In particular, we highlight the relative absence of research on ethics in academic finance and discuss the likely consequences for the discipline including its relevance to society

Gender and the evaluation of research
This study examines if and how gender relates to research evaluation via panel assessment and journal ratings lists. Using data from UK business schools we find no evidence that the proportion of women in a submission for panel assessment affected the score received by the submitting institution. However, we do find that women on average receive lower scores according to some journal ratings lists. There are important differences in the rated quality of journals that men and women publish in across the sub-disciplines with men publishing significantly more research in the highest rated accountancy, information management and strategy journals. In addition, women who are able to utilise networks to co-author with individuals outside their institution are able to publish in higher-rated journals, although the same is not true for men; women who are attributed with âindividual staff circumstancesâ (e.g. maternity leave or part-time working) have lower scores according to journal ratings lists
The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy
Apophenia is the very human capability of making meaning out of the chaotic data of the world. Itâs pattern recognition: Jesus on your toast. But Carl Jung advocated for careful attention to the phenomenon of coincidence. John C Lilly takes it one step further, saying coincidence should be read as a cue from the cosmos. Artists Clare Hammoor and Evelyn Walker celebrate apophenia, reflecting on their recent collaborationâa remounting of John Gilbertâs opera 'Rotation'. This essay looks at instances of meaning making, deliberate mystification, and lateral leaps; what theyâve come to call a parasociative process

Comparative genomic analysis of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, from Europe and North America
Background: Several lines of evidence including allozyme analysis, restriction digest patterns and sequencing ofmtDNA as well as mini- and micro-satellite allele frequencies indicate that Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from NorthAmerica and Europe are genetically distinct. These observations are supported by karyotype analysis, whichrevealed that North American Atlantic salmon have 27 pairs of chromosomes whereas European salmon have 29pairs. We set out to construct a linkage map for a North American Atlantic salmon family and to compare this mapwith the well developed map for European Atlantic salmon.Results: We used microsatellite markers, which had previously been mapped in the two Atlantic salmon SALMAPmapping families from the River Tay, Scotland, to carry out linkage analysis in an Atlantic salmon family (NB1)whose parents were derived from the Saint John River stock in New Brunswick, Canada. As large differences inrecombination rates between female and male Atlantic salmon have been noted, separate genetic maps wereconstructed for each sex. The female linkage map comprises 218 markers in 37 linkage groups while the male maphas 226 markers in 28 linkage groups. We combined 280 markers from the female and male maps into 27composite linkage groups, which correspond to the haploid number of chromosomes in Atlantic salmon from theWestern Atlantic.Conclusions: A comparison of the composite NB1 and SALMAP linkage maps revealed the reason for thedifference in the chromosome numbers between European and North American Atlantic salmon: Linkage groupsAS-4 and AS-32 in the Scottish salmon, which correspond to chromosomes Ssa-6 and Ssa-22, are combined into asingle NB1 linkage group as are linkage groups AS-21 and AS-33 (corresponding to chromosomes Ssa-26 and Ssa-28). The comparison of the linkage maps also suggested some additional chromosomal rearrangements, but it willrequire finer mapping, potentially using SNPs, to test these predictions. Our results provide the first comparison ofthe genomic architecture of Atlantic salmon from North America and Europe with respect to chromosomeorganization
