Science Utopia? Closed-Loop LLM Simulation of Academic Research Ecosystems

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific progress emerges from a longitudinal ecosystem in which researchers, institutions, funding agencies, collaboration networks, and the scientific literature co-evolve. As AI becomes increasingly involved throughout the scientific research cycle, understanding these interconnected and evolving processes becomes increasingly important. We introduce SciUtopia, a persistent, closed-loop LLM-agent simulation framework for studying academic re
