Foundations are carrying more of the load, but they’re not a neutral replacement. Awards are fewer, reporting is heavier, and many dollars now favor practice over research. This is the funding environment researchers are navigating right now. 4/4

Citations, h-indexes, journal rankings: metrics increasingly guide scientific decisions. Designed to signal impact, they now shape what gets studied, how it is framed, and where it is submitted—often before the research question is fully formed.

What we rarely ask: when scientists defend “science,” what are we actually defending?

Critical inquiry—or the funding structures, incentives, and career systems wrapped around it?

These are not the same thing, but they’re often treated as one.

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