Yes, I mean it in the best post-blind-metrics-following way

Oooh! It's sometimes terrifying how prevalent GS bragging is outside the more informed strata of the academics. And if we step just a bit outside academia, it's too often taken non-critically. Also, NL is among the most bibliometrics aware countries, I feel, probably thanks to Leiden

Can a marriage contract be considered a preregistration that you would rather not fulfill?
October 13, 2025 at 7:22 PM
This is interesting. Yes, practices vary wildly. I think, in social sciences the thresholds for defining authorship were usually rather high. And some corners of demography are simply too close to epi/ph/med where norms are different. But I think the blank reliance on metrics is too common around me
October 13, 2025 at 7:16 PM
True. But in a way it is a separate problem of seniority power abuse in academia. Inflating the meaning of co-authorship is not a solution to it, I think
October 13, 2025 at 12:24 PM
Agree. Co-authorship system is rigid and as dated as publishing model itself. CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is one approach. But the problem usually lies in the adoption 🙃
October 13, 2025 at 12:22 PM
We need fractional counting and a system where co-authors are required to "slice the pie", then adding free-riding passengers will become costly

Yeah, I'm not saying it is easy to come up with good universally working definitions, nor that ICJME managed to produce such criterions. I'm rather saying that no attempts of authorship definition would elevate partial data curation to full co-authorship
October 13, 2025 at 12:00 PM
Different bodies try to standardize what should constitute a contribution worthy of co-authorship. In medical field on of the more reputable ones is ICMJE

There are others too. None of them suggest that providing a handful of data points should grant co-authorship

These are produced via perplexity (which I mostly use) that routes image generation requests to openai/dalle

Perhaps worth noting that gemini blankly refused to produce an image. Do I believe this answer? 🙃😅
