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.

In this study, we consider the actual crisis of #publictrust in the #scientificsystem as a symptom of its lack of
#sustainability and argue that #societalimpact should be measured and understood not
exclusively in terms of the #usefulness of science to solve complex social problems, but also in
terms of its capability to display and communicate its value to #differentaudiences.
