A citation manipulation scheme so easy, even a cat can do it.

{"=““} tl;dr : metrics-obsessed capitalism is the reason why we can’t have nice things – and watch @tante’s talk Back in Paris, I was semi-joking with friends about how the rate of technological innovations seem to have slowed down or come to a halt. The last “big” innovation that we could think about were smartphones, as carrying the internet permanently in our pockets was quite a change.

Previously, I took advantage of a dataset that linked preprints to their published counterparts to look at the fraction of papers in a journal that are preprinted. This linkage can be used to answer other interesting questions. Such as: when do authors preprint their papers relative to submission? And does this differ by journal? There’s a bit of preamble. If you just want to know the answer, click here.

On a scientist’s Google Scholar page, there is a list of co-authors in the sidebar. I’ve often wondered how Google determines in what order these co-authors appear. The list of co-authors on a primary author’s page is not exhaustive. It only lists co-authors who also have a Google Scholar profile. They also have to be suggested to the primary author and they need to accept the co-author to list them on the page.

Scholia es una plataforma asociada a Wikidata que permite obtener poderosas visualizaciones de datos de la información estructurada en Wikidata, hasta el momento se puede visualizar la información desde dos perspectivas: taxonómica  y bibliográfica, la información en este recurso se organiza en tablas y gráficos dinámicos que facilitan interactuar con la información en tiempo real.

Los análisis métricos utilizan la información, la bibliografía y los productos científicos para hacer análisis cuantitativos que permitan obtener tendencias, patrones, indicadores y relaciones sobre la investigación y la ciencia, incluyen la bibliometría, la infometría, la cienciometría y la altmetría y es practicada por especialistas de distintos dominios como la propia ciencia, por eso la cienciometría es conocida como ciencia de la

Los análisis métricos de la información, también llamados bibliometría, cienciometría, infometría y altmetría se han utilizado frecuentemente para hacer investigar la historia de la ciencia desde la perspectiva de la publicación científica, este enfoque permite entender las distintas dimensión del producto científico por excelencia, los artículos científicos.

From data sharing mandates to clinical trial registration, Open Science (OS) policies for biomedical research are in no short supply. But ensuring those policies become real-world practices can be a challenge—particularly when there’s no simple way to measure success.

So this happened: Zootaxa is a hugely important journal in animal taxonomy: On one hand one could argue that impact factor is a bad way to measure academic impact, so it's tempting to say this simply reflects a poor metric that is controlled by a commercial company using data that is not open.
