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.

Mobilizing Knowledge in the Humanities and Social Sciences: Exploring Competing Articulations of Openness in Policy and Practice

https://microblogging.infodocs.eu/2026/04/17/mobilizing-knowledge-in-the-humanities-and-social-sciences-exploring-competing-articulations-of-openness-in-policy-and-practice/

#CorinaMacDonald #HumanitiesAndSocialSciences #KnowledgeMobilization #OpenResearch #ScholarlyCommunication

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.
