I presented some of my recent work at the IRIT Research Seminar – from strange bibliometric patterns and GenAI to research integrity and research climate.

The main question: finding something wrong is one thing. What happens next? Detection needs interpretation. Correction needs institutions. Prevention requires understanding the environment.

An OpenAlex working group chaired by Alperin suggests replacing the diamond/gold/green/hybrid/bronze system with labels for access, location, and license.
The goal is to separate information on the publisher's business model from the article's access status.

New paper is out: The State of Global Catastrophic Risk Research: A Bibliometric Review.

I am quite happy with this one. I think the paper gives a nice overview of what people in the global catastrophic risk community think about and what their research focuses on. So, if you are even remotely interested in global catastrophic risk research, this paper is worth checking out. I don't think you will a more exhaustive overview anywhere else.

You can find the whole paper here: https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/1053/2025/esd-16-1053-2025.html

If you want to just get a quick overview, I also wrote a summary: https://existentialcrunch.substack.com/p/the-state-of-global-catastrophic

And for a super quick overview, just take a look at the visual abstract attached to this post.

And thanks to @OpenAlex for their great database, which made this project possible!

Being a "Highly Cited Researcher" has gone from a sign of having impact as a researcher to a potential indicator of misconduct.

"Manipulations have been so obvious and large that, in 2024, over 2,000 researchers were removed from a HCR list containing some 6,600 names." - Lauranne Chaignon

"Larry Richardson is officially history’s highest cited cat (according to Google Scholar, at least)."
