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

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.

Today I had the pleasure of presenting my fellowship research at the weekly interdisciplinary #VUIAS seminar.

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

In this presentation, I explore the idea of "AI plagiarism" not as a simple violation, but as a mismatch between new modes of text production and outdated systems for assessing knowledge and contribution.

If text no longer reliably reflects thinking, what exactly are we evaluating?

This is part of my workshop at the Science Festival 2026.
