Multidisciplinary training, over time, produces the highest impact people www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Google Scholar attributes papers automatically to authors, a problem with homonyms when they do not clean up their profiles. It is also generous in matching citations. #RePEc requires authors to claim their papers and has stricter criteria for citation matching, thus does not inflate stats.#EconSky

Finally, if you can get through the paywall this piece from earlier in the week illuminates how the experience above is just a tiny part of an industrial-scale, global, and sector-wide catastrophe of AI and citations to nonexistent papers in academic publishing bsky.app/profile/mile...

Maybe also useful: olivia.science/ai Especially see our letter here: openletter.earth/open-letter-... And: bsky.app/profile/oliv...

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

Europe's MSCA postdoctoral fellowships are now attracting many researchers who would have gone to the US. So the payline has dropped below 10% (~1,600 fellowships to 17k applicants). Super tough situation. One more reason to double the next Horizon budget, as proposed by the EU Commission.
