    Isn’t it odd that researchers who should be pros at caring about and finding the most correct metrics for every topic are obsessed with a proxy for quality that is just about the most disjoint possible? It should be embarrassing.

      Unfortunately, it’s commonly not researchers that create academic circles, it is publishers and other entities with vested interest in making us publish more garbage.

      Scientific world is corrupt as hell.
