Being a "Highly Cited Researcher" has gone from a sign of having impact as a researcher to a potential indicator of misconduct.

"Manipulations have been so obvious and large that, in 2024, over 2,000 researchers were removed from a HCR list containing some 6,600 names." - Lauranne Chaignon

Impact of Social Sciences - Maximizing the impact of academic research · Is the list of Highly Cited Researchers losing credibility? - Impact of Social SciencesFor over two decades, the Highly Cited Researchers list has spotlighted global scientific influence. But behind its annual release lies a shifting story, which includes evolving methods, changing ownership and growing misuse. Lauranne Chaignon traces the list’s transformation from a research tool to a high-stakes benchmark, raising questions about its continued role in academic evaluation.

A brilliant new paper in #ResearchEvaluation 📄 compares how the UK, Norway, and Poland implemented research impact assessment - with very different results:

🇬🇧 UK built infrastructure, #REF became a strategic tool.
🇳🇴 Norway took a soft, formative approach.
🇵🇱 Poland copy-pasted, spent big - got confusion, “point-chasing” and no culture shift.

Digging deep into soil using metabarcoding techniques. 🧬

Research by Varsar et al., used soil #eDNA barcoding to analyze plant diversity 🌻 and community composition on a global scale. The results were compared with traditional plant survey methods which showed strong overlap in results, demonstrating the potential of eDNA as a valuable tool for large-scale #biodiversity assessments. 🌏

My daughter has been sifting applicants for a graduate trainee post at the university where she works. She says they all have nearly identical AI-generated personal statements containing dross like “it would be a privilege to work for your esteemed corporation”. One of the key skills the job requires is ability to detect academic bullshit 🤔
