The chair of the Critical Economics Students group thinks that students and instructors of economics need to ask more critical questions about the models that they use.
We need a shift in paradigm at the universities, according to a group of students. They have linked up in the movement Student Revolt '22. The University Post met five of them.
There is rebellion in the air at the country's higher education institutions. Students want to fight student despair and stop the cuts. And they want new university legislation.
Global politics, conspiracy theories, and increasing polarisation all helped to sabotage the mission. But Professor Thea Kølsen Fischer hopes to resume the hunt for the origins of corona.
The most cited scientific article, of all-time, from a Danish university is a description of a software package developed and authored by a British paleontologist who used to work at the University of Copenhagen. He has helped a generation of scientists and students analyse rocks and fossils.
The scientific articles that are cited by many other scientists are seen as having a high 'impact'. But articles are not just cited by other scientists because they are important for their field and for society. And citation counts subtly change the 'competition of science,' says a professor in the history of science.
The University Post has extracted the most cited articles — all time — by scientists associated with Danish universities from a key citation database. The names and articles at the top of this list might surprise you.
