Here’s your regularly scheduled, unsolicited ‘#citation counting is bad’ toot.

Clarivate’s #HighlyCitedResearchers report uses #RetractionWatch to try and crack down on metric manipulators (MM).

They also see an increased number of these MMs.

And they mention trying to safe guard their detection filters and algorithms.

🧵

Clarivate cracks down on misconduct:

"The number of potential Highly Cited Researcher candidates excluded from our final list increased from some 300 in 2021 to about 550 in 2022.

It is worrying to think that in a few years perhaps up to 10% of those we are identifying through our algorithms may be engaged in publication and citation gaming or misconduct".
