NetMetaEasy: enabling rapid and user‐friendly network meta‐analysis (NMA) for comparative effectiveness research

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Network meta‐analysis (NMA) enables the simultaneous comparison of multiple treatments by combining direct and indirect evidence across a network of studies. While its application is rapidly expanding in pharmacological research and clinical guideline development, performing NMA typically requires advanced statistical knowledge ...

Estimating Velocities of Infectious Disease Spread Through Spatio‐Temporal Log‐Gaussian Cox Point Processes

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Understanding the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID‐19 is crucial for informed decision‐making and resource allocation. A critical component of disease behaviour is the velocity with which disease spreads, defined as the rate of change between time and space.

The Drivers of Science Referenced in US EPA Regulatory Impact Analyses: Open Access, Professional Popularity, and Agency Involvement

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We perform bibliometric analysis on documents for 255 Regulatory Impact Analyzes (RIAs) prepared by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from 1980 through 2024. Using a series of automated information extraction methods, we extract references from these documents and match them to bibliographic records.
