My head tells me bibliometrics are awful, my heart still beats faster when I get cited or my h-index increases ;-)
Or is it the other way around?
Anyway a paper I was third author on just got cited for the first time and I am bizarrely pleased. I think it is more that it has greater than zero citations now, makes it feel like there was some value to others… however illusory this may be.
On a related note one of my colleagues has *exactly* the same h-index as me, and precisely two more citations over the course of her career. The devil is in the detail though: her citation rate is much higher, and is growing, whereas I am last year’s man man.

MDPI as a corruption indicator? A new preprint shows a striking trend across Europe 🇪🇺: more MDPI papers → higher perceived corruption → lower innovation.
👉 https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.06282v1
It’s not that MDPI = bad. But when it dominates, it signals a broken system chasing quantity over quality.
Ukraine? 🇺🇦 Not in the study, but we see the same rise of #MDPI. We could build better. Instead, we copy the worst.

Since the 1980s, scholarly journals have increasingly denationalized & anglicized their titles to boost international visibility. This trend aligns with indexing policies of Web of Science & Scopus, favouring English-language journals.

Is global reach worth the loss of local identity?
