Can a great song title make your paper more visible? In our new study, we explored how famous song titles appear in Scopus-indexed article titles.
🎧 https://doi.org/10.1177/01655515261437409
We found that in most cases, these titles are used as catchy rhetorical signals to attract readers. But here’s the catch: they don’t necessarily lead to higher citations. So yes, your title can sound like a rock hit… but impact still depends on more than style.

Gave a short online lecture on altmetrics today. Main point: altmetrics measure attention, not quality. Sometimes they capture real interest - sometimes just noise. Attention ≠ impact.

In our new short letter, we explored where real discussion on complex scientific issues actually happens. Instead of articles or reports, we analysed letters to the editor in journals – using #geoengineering as a case.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1515/reveh-2025-0161
These short texts turn out to be one of the few spaces where science becomes a dialogue: not only experts, but also broader publics engage, and discussions move beyond technical details to #ethics risks, and governance.

A recent Journal of Informetrics study shows – There is no universal number of “too many authors.”
In some fields, 3–6 may already be unusual.
In medicine – dozens are common.
In physics – large teams are often the norm.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2026.101803
Yes, #hyperauthorship can signal problems (e.g., honorary authorship, metric inflation). But the key question is not “how many authors?” 👉 it is: Is this abnormal for this field and time?

New blog post on @lseimpactblog@bird.makeup about our project. Why global databases are not enough, and why national scholarly infrastructures matter more than we think.
The solution is not to replace global systems, but to connect national ones into a network of interoperable, open infrastructures.

Our new 📄 in Current Alzheimer Research looks at a strange, and worrying, phenomenon in scientific writing: tortured phrases. Instead of blood-brain barrier, some papers use bizarre alternatives like blood-brain obstruction or blood-cerebrum boundary.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.2174/0115672050460224260206052444
These are not just language errors, they can signal deeper issues such as weak #PeerReview or even #PaperMills.

Our correspondence in @Nature@mstdn.social is out today - “AI used in warfare needs a strong ethical framework”.
📄 https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-026-01008-7
We argue that the real question is not how effective AI is in war, but:
Who does it actually protect?
Who controls these systems?
Who is accountable for their failures?
And are decisions that risk civilian harm ever acceptable?

A new paper by Ioannidis & Baas highlights an uncomfortable shift: most scientific publications today come from countries that are not full democracies and have limited press freedom. In 2006, about two-thirds of global science was produced in full democracies. In 2024 – only 22%.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s41073-026-00190-6
Even more striking – 78% of publications come from countries with problematic press freedom, and there is no link between democracy and scientific productivity.

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):
67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.
Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.
🙂 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2025.3000
O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

We evaluate science mostly through papers. But researchers report that up to 75% of project effort is data work — collecting, cleaning, documenting, and preparing datasets. A reminder that research outputs ≠ research work.

New paper in Research Evaluation explores how researchers actually cite data. Key insight: data citations are far more complex than simple indicators of data reuse.
:oa: https://doi.org/10.1093/reseval/rvag008
They reflect scientific practice, community norms, attribution, and even reputation-building. A timely reminder: metrics alone cannot capture the real value of data work.

Where do bibliometricians come from? 🤔 A new international study suggests a simple answer: mostly from academic libraries. Around 60% of people doing bibliometric work at universities are based there.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1177/01655515261417634
The catch? Over 70% say they never had formal training in bibliometrics. People simply grow into the role while working with databases, indicators and research analytics.

Rare earth elements are at the core of today’s technological and geopolitical competition – from EVs to defence systems. #Ukraine is increasingly part of this landscape.
📊 Ukraine has strong scientific expertise, but it is concentrated in fundamental research, with limited capacity in processing, technology, and patents.
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14631377.2026.2634631
💬 Ukraine has a rare window of opportunity. The question is: quarry or strategic actor?

A real case of how administrative interpretation can block international research collaboration. A Ukrainian researcher was deemed ineligible because a municipal (public) university was not considered “state” 🤯 under a specific interpretation.
This raises important questions about consistency and transparency in international funding schemes.

The Lancet has published a short editorial on the state of Ukraine’s health system after four years of war. A few numbers worth noting:
Over 47,000 civilian casualties.
2,591 attacks on health infrastructure.
359 health workers killed.
68% of Ukrainians report a decline in health.
Among health workers: 81% burnout, 69% anxiety, 61% depression, and only 17% have access to psychosocial support.

Virginia Tech published something many universities still lack: Practical guidance on how to use AI responsibly in research - step by step, across the entire research lifecycle.
Not abstract principles. Concrete prompts. Clear warnings about IP, confidentiality, hallucinations, and dual-use risks. #AI should support thinking — not replace it.

New commentary published in #Scientometrics: “Scientific collaboration without flights: Ukraine’s wartime adaptation.”
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-026-05576-3
Since 2022, #Ukraine has had no civilian air travel, severely limiting academic mobility. Yet, international co-authorship involving Ukrainian institutions has not declined — it has increased. A small piece on resilience, digital collaboration, and global academic solidarity.

An interesting study on how warfare affects birds in #Ukraine. The authors combined open-source intelligence, field observations, and eyewitness reports to show that even highly mobile species often remain in combat-affected areas: they die from explosions, lose nesting sites, and face the destruction of habitats and changes in water systems.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1080/24750263.2025.2531125
In many ways, this is one of the first attempts to systematically document the real-time impact of #war on #biodiversity.

#Scientometrics is a direct translation of the Soviet term naukometriya, introduced through the 1969 monograph by Vasily Nalimov and Zinaida Mulchenko. A new paper in @QSS_ISSI@scicomm.xyz reveals that around 15% of that monograph consists of fragments from Mulchenko’s PhD thesis on information flows in science — meaning that many core ideas of Soviet scientometrics were actually hers. Yet she almost disappeared from the historical record = #MatildaEffect

The results of a large survey that investigated data citation practices, preferences and motivations of authors:
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00264
BIG question - When should research practice be adapted to current technical requirements and recommendations for data citation, and when should requirements and recommendations be adapted to reflect actual practice? 🤔
