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.

In our new paper, we tested #ChatGPT and #DeepSeek as triage tools for post-publication peer review. The result: useful potential, but human verification remains essential.

The Scholarly Kitchen: From Hub to Hustle: The Scattered Social Landscape in Scholarly Comms. “In the most recent SSP Pulse Check, the community weighed in on the way social media is being used and trusted (or neither) in scholarly communications. The insights revealed a complex picture of a time that remains uncertain and very much still evolving. To build on this data, we looked at past […]

"How many times must one do something to make it a tradition? If two data points are enough, join Dr Suze Kundu for the now TRADITIONAL closing keynote at PIDFest 2026!
Following on from her closing session at the last PIDFest in Prague, where she romped through a whirlwind review of several packed days of discussion before somehow convincing nearly 300 people to scream the word “Bridgerton!” in unison, Suze returns with another joyful retrospective of the festival’s biggest moments, boldest ideas, accidental themes, infrastructure in-jokes, and perhaps a few slightly unhinged observations from the front row.
Expect highlights, hindsight, hilarity, and heartwarming reminders of why communities like this matter so much.
From metadata to memes, governance to global collaboration, this closing keynote will celebrate the people, conversations, and connections that keep knowledge connected.
Come for the recap. Stay because statistically speaking, audience participation is now also a tradition. And you can't go against data."

Are university journals really "local"?
Our new preprint shows that national and institutional embeddedness are not the same. University journals may be strongly rooted in national research systems while publishing very few authors from their own universities.

Generative AI may be changing not only how we write scientific papers, but also who we write them with.
A fascinating new #preprint by Akira Matsui finds that the decades-long decline in solo authorship halted, and in many fields reversed, after the release of ChatGPT.
:oa: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.10780
A provocative hypothesis: AI may be taking over some of the work previously done by human co-authors.

Today I had the pleasure of presenting my fellowship research at the weekly interdisciplinary #VUIAS seminar.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.35582.55364
One of the key messages was simple: metrics often reveal symptoms, but understanding integrity problems requires looking at research environments, incentives, and organisational cultures.
