SpringerLinkScientometric indicators in research evaluation and research misconduct: analysis of the Russian university excellence initiative - ScientometricsThis study aimed to examine the impact of the Russian University Excellence Initiative (RUEI), also known as Project 5–100, on research misconduct in Russian higher education. Launched in 2013, the RUEI incentivized universities to increase the number of publications in internationally indexed journals. The analysis compares the prevalence of retracted publications—as a proxy for research misconduct—between universities that participated in the RUEI and a control group of universities that did not. A total of 2621 retracted papers affiliated with at least one Russian institution were identified. Of which 203 papers were indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and/or Scopus databases. The results showed that RUEI universities had a significantly higher number of retracted publications in WoS- and Scopus-indexed journals, suggesting that pressure to meet quantitative scientometric indicators may have encouraged unethical research practices and research misconduct. In addition, different reasons for retraction were found between publications indexed and not indexed in WoS and/or Scopus databases. These findings suggest that the direct and irresponsible use of scientometric indicators as performance measures may have unintended negative consequences that may undermine research integrity.

Are #nerdy #membrane-spanning #lipids produced by #bacteria and #archaea admitted on #Mastodon?

These lipids, named glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (#GDGTs), are my favorite #biomarkers for their usefulness as #climatic and #environmental #indicators and for having been the #protagonists of my #PhD #research.

Recently, I participated to an #international #workshop organized by #GDGT #nerds for GDGT nerds, sadly not active on this #platform as far as I know.

I'm really interested in #technology #transitions - and watching the #TwitterMigration to #Mastodon makes me think about how we know transitions are taking place and how far along we are in a transition or regime change.

Accounts like @mastodonmigration post useful stats on how many new users are joining the #Fediverse, often correlating with some sort of Twitter controversy.

But what other #indicators, #signals and #metrics inform our view of the adoption of the #Fediverse? Here's some I can think of:

👉 Font sets like Font Awesome provide #mastodón and other Fediverse-aligned logos, like #Pixelfed.

👉 Businesses begin to advertise their Mastodon address alongside other social properties.

👉 We start to see whole-of-government or whole-of-sector approaches to creating and maintaining Mastodon instances - for example, mastodon.gov.au.

👉 We start to see COTS offerings of Mastodon hosting by hosting providers

👉 We start to see Udemy and other micro-learning providers offering Mastodon "certification"

What other signals can you think of?
