Is Scopus really a curated bibliographic database?

A new Scientometrics study finds 2.7M records without author information, 500K+ records with unknown source titles, inconsistent document types, and even London recorded as an affiliation.

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-026-05778-9

A useful reminder: better research assessment starts with understanding and checking the data - not just pressing a button.

A timely new commentary in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology raises an uncomfortable question:

Can anti-metric research assessment reforms backfire in weak academic systems?

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2026.112430

Reducing metrics may work where institutions are strong. But in fragile systems, it may unintentionally increase the influence of favouritism, academic inbreeding, and opaque decision-making.
