I know many on both sides have a disaffection for Romney, but in our current political climate where most elected leaders vote party lines, he is one who votes on personal principle and conscience.

Disagree with the comment that these tools are mostly used by people with knowledge in bibliometrics. Nearly 1200 papers in 2021 mention VOSviewer in the title/abstr (Scopus search). How many of those by bibliometricians? A few dozen at most.

We're all busy with so many things in life, but this story is what life should be all about. We can all make a difference. Do we? I can do better.

What to do with hospitals and their researchers? Should they be standalone, part of a university, both? Has huge implications for university benchmarking, etc.

Interesting! Data show a strong covidization of research citations across science, with major impact on shaping the citation elite. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our number one! pnas.org/doi/full/10.10… Paper assessing the impact of COVID in research citations. For many researchers, their COVD-19 papers already accounted for more than half of their total career citations. Congratulations Jeroen Baas et al

Using a different (but related) cohort - continuously publishing authors - we found something similar. The 1% (N =150,608) of authors with a continuous presence were listed on nearly 42% of publications. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

BTW - for those following this "Stanford" metric, note that this years update was published solely by John Ioannidis. Jeroen Baas and I have ethical concerns about individual metrics and have decided to no longer be listed as authors.

Couldn't agree more!

"Frontiers" and "hinder" in the same sentence. Sounds about right!

Guys weekend with four sons and a son-in-law. Great times with family! This is what I live for!

One take I haven't yet seen - Musk has been rightly castigated for what has happened the last few weeks ... BUT ... if Twitter had let him walk when he initially backed out of purchasing, none of this would have happened. Too bad they didn't.

20% of citations received to papers published in 2020-2021 were to COVID-19–related papers. Across science, 98 of the 100 most-cited papers published in 2020-2021 were related to COVID-19. Massive covidization of research citations and the citation elite pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Deadline extended to December 12 for ISSI2023! Still time to submit!!! cns-iu.github.io/workshops/2023… (website to be updated shortly!) ISSI President

Par for the course. Frontiers' management is far more interested in making threats than improving the processes that would keep them off such lists.

Many (incl Christie and me) from our local church groups and other churches in the area will be performing an Easter oratorio. If you want to listen to a wonderful Easter work, tune in. Friday 7pm, Saturday 2pm, Saturday 7pm, all times MDT. sites.google.com/view/abqstakem…

I'll side with Giovanni here, not only because his arguments are well reasoned (they are!), but also because if he hadn't been elected ISSI president, he likely would have retired (his words to me). He is active in this because he cares!

From the post-print, In Fig 4, 27/30 pairs are diagonal dominant, the other 3 pretty good. Given this, what is gained by separating the citing and cited networks? Why not cluster both together as in doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_….
