A new study on citation impact (in the field of sleep disorders) finds that "only 27.7% of articles exceeded their journal’s #JIF, while 72.3% fell below it."

PS: In other words, about three-fourths of articles that might use their journal's impact factor as a bragging point (advertisement, credential, distinction, tribute) actually drag down the journal's average citation impact. Another reason why it's wrong to judge articles (and authors) by journal-based metrics.

New study: "In the first three years after accusations became public, scholars accused of sexual misconduct incur a larger citation penalty than scholars accused of scientific misconduct. However, when asked to predict their citing behavior, scholars indicated the reverse pattern, suggesting they might mis-predict their behavior or be reluctant to disclose their preferences."

New research reveals that papers with a diverse age range of co-authors tend to have a higher citation impact! 📊

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physa.2024.130096

The more varied the academic ages, the more influential the research in economics, engineering, computer science, and physics.

Collaboration across generations = key to success! 🚀

New study: When the journal, Neuropsychopharmacology, studied its own articles (a mix of #GreenOA, #GoldOA, #BronzeOA, and non-OA or #paywalled), it found that "easily accessible article content is most often cited by readers, but that the higher #APCs of #Hybrid tier publishing may not guarantee increased scholarly or social impact."

I mean… What’s next? Some #Academics with bloated #HFactor will start addressing the “Matthew Effect” of the #CitationImpact part of #PublishOrPerish? And advocate for more appropriate measures of #Scholarship including #SocialImpact and #EpistemicJustice?

Sounds unlikely.

Speaking of #OpenEducation…
In my curation of academic texts about #OERs and other dimensions of the OE movement, those which cite @Zawacki_Richter keep coming up. #ImpactfulCitation #CitationImpact
