Science rankings rely on papers in academic journals. Broadening the view to include many more open-access journals will upend the usual order – thanks to China’s vast number of publications.
Anyone else have the experience of checking some crazy right wing nutjob's bio on twitter only to discover they're a PhD or a Professor at a western university, again and again and again?
lol yeah happens way too often
University rankings are stupid because in the best case they try to measure the quality of articles by number of citations and at worst they are just companies taking money for advertising.
Looking at the contents of their graduate courses is usually enough IMO to see whether they are serious or not.
What a shitty article. Open access articles - particularly combined with open data and transparent data analysis pipelines - are the gold standard. Does the author not know the difference between an open access journal and a predatory journal, or is this some hit piece by Elsevier et al?
