Oh! I finally got to see a comic in Scientometrics! 😄

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-026-05780-1

The authors took the famous #xkcd joke about the "hierarchy of sciences" and decided to test whether sciences can really be arranged so neatly in a single line. It turns out there is no clear ladder from "soft" to "hard" sciences, and some disciplines that seem far apart are actually surprisingly similar.

One of the key messages was simple: metrics often reveal symptoms, but understanding integrity problems requires looking at research environments, incentives, and organisational cultures.

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):

67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.

Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.

🙂 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2025.3000

O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.
