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.

Gave a short online lecture on altmetrics today. Main point: altmetrics measure attention, not quality. Sometimes they capture real interest - sometimes just noise. Attention ≠ impact.

A real case of how administrative interpretation can block international research collaboration. A Ukrainian researcher was deemed ineligible because a municipal (public) university was not considered “state” 🤯 under a specific interpretation.

This raises important questions about consistency and transparency in international funding schemes.
