The field of research is undergoing significant transformations, driven by the emergence of large-scale collaborations, the increasing importance of digital technologies, and the need for more nuanced assessment of scholarly impact. Traditional metrics, such as citation counts and h-indices, are being reevaluated in light of the changing research landscape. New approaches, such as the SBCI index, are being proposed to better capture individual contributions in large-scale collaborations. Meanwhile, the integration of digital technologies with humanities scholarship is creating new opportunities for interdisciplinary research and knowledge discovery. The development of innovative tools, such as community-driven dataset search engines, is also facilitating more efficient research reproduction and collaboration. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Recent Advances and Trends in Research Paper Recommender Systems, which provides a comprehensive survey of techniques and approaches in research paper recommendation. DS4RS: Community-Driven and Explainable Dataset Search Engine for Recommender System Research, which proposes a novel dataset search engine tailored for recommender system research.
