Finally, popularity turns out to be a terrible way to select a software tool. We have once again found that popular tools can be both inaccurate and slow on realistic, independent datasets. #citationmetrics 10/n

A new paper argues that reliance on citation metrics like FWCI-scores above 1.0 signal above-average impact and CNCI may skew research agendas; the study was submitted on 26 Sep 2025. Read more: https://getnews.me/citation-metrics-and-their-hidden-costs-in-research/ #citationmetrics #fwci #cnci

Analysis of DBLP and Scopus data shows ~70% of external citations follow preferential attachment, ‘rich‑get‑richer’, while only 20% of self‑citations do, indicating different drivers. https://getnews.me/external-vs-self-citations-preferential-attachment-drives-impact/ #citationmetrics #selfcitations

1. New research tackles a critical problem: How do we evaluate researchers when papers have 1000+ authors? The Gemini paper has 1,361 authors & 4,600 citations. Traditional metrics like h-index completely fail here. #AcademicTwitter #CitationMetrics

Interesting paper from EHJ on citation metrics. The paper proposes a modified H index taking into account things like whether the paper is primary or secondary research & whether the researcher is first or last author. Food for thought!
