🔥🔥 New article in PlosOne 🔥🔥

Citation behaviour isn’t a meritocracy.
It’s shaped by social ties and topic overlap.
Let’s rethink how we evaluate research impact.

Oui oui oui je confirme

This is an amazing work from amazing collegues in an amazing journal bravo bravo bravo 🔥🔥🔥

🚨🚨🚨 Code red, I repeat, code read 🚨🚨🚨
The most ambitious research project I have ever been involved in has published its first paper in @bjsociology.bsky.social

70 authors & 17 teams studying varieties of economic elites in 17 countries

See our results: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The very first paper from our large comparative project - the World Elite Database - is out.

Lots of coordination and important discussion on comparing elites allow us to - for the first time really - compare elites across very different national contexts.

An incredible addition to our special issue on Mapping relational structures in culture. And a great thread on the paper (in French). Thanks a lot @pierrebat.cpesr.fr @robcss.cpesr.fr @mathiasrota.bsky.social for the amazing work!!

C’est chaud de trouver des gif ou c’est moi ?

My colleagues and I have been sharing blogs and news about a survey we did on how researchers use generative AI - that study is now published and openly available here:

New publication (in French): shorturl.at/CW7R3

Analyzing 1,423 elite marriages in Geneva between 1890 and 1957, I show the persistence of endogamy among patrician elites, particularly those with significant economic power.

And so many other cool and very diversified things in this issues focusing on How To Become a Sociology Professor:

Our new article ‘Science for whom? The influence of the regional academic circuit on gender inequalities in Latin America’ has just been published! asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
A work we did with @diegokoz.bsky.social @natsush.bsky.social and @lariviev.bsky.social

This is so cool that they use CSA to understand sub-fields within a topicspace :) :) :)

If you happen to be in Lausanne this Thursday, do stop by at Unil as @benzpierre.bsky.social and I will be giving a very short introduction on Multiple Correspondence Analysis in R.

An then you can fly straight to Oslo for a one-week MCA course with @magneflemmen.bsky.social next month!

Two new publications that encapsulate my interests to present my self. Both are focusing on science in Europe and the processes shaping science and especially social science in Europe. In the first one we analyze scientific disciplines using ERC projects and topic analysis.
