Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at French Ranking Day organized by #Clarivate and Université PSL.

I spoke about growing global dissatisfaction with major university rankings, including commitment made recently by the Dutch universities to work on culture change in use of rankings https://www.universiteitenvannederland.nl/en_GB/nieuws-detail/nieuwsbericht/915-p-dutch-universities-to-take-different-approach-to-rankings-p.html. #UNL

I also presented ongoing work to create fully open edition of @cwts #LeidenRanking https://www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/the-cwts-leiden-ranking-2023. @neesjanvaneck @OpenAlex #COKI

Or at least that's my plain-language summary of a pretty opaque press release.

Note that Clarivate owns or controls the #WebOfScience, #JournalImpactFactor (#JIF) data, #Publons, #EndNote, #ScholarOne, and #ProQuest.

Guardingo previewed the changes to JCR and IFs coming at the end of this month.

Big change is incorporating all AHCI and ESCI titles into the JCR and quartile rankings.

Never comfortable with the fact that private companies recommend themselves in publications as experts to consult...🤔

📢 The #IGeLU Nominations Committee is calling for nominees for election to the IGeLU Steering Committee.

This is a crucial time for the Ex Libris Users Community and the IGeLU Steering Committee, as we need to ensure that #ExLibris products continue to meet our requirements. This is more critical now with the #Clarivate acquisition.

This year we have two (2) positions for the Steering Committee, all of which are 2-year terms, beginning in September, 2023.

Sanctioning of 50 journals raises concerns over special issues in ‘mega-#journals’

👉 "When you issue a death penalty to a journal like they’ve done, you create a huge disincentive for publishers to be open and transparent where #papermills and #retractions are concerned"

Gender analyses by Clarivate / ISI show that men collaborate more and get cited more than do women, all other things being equal, says Gali Halevi. #WomenInSTEM #GenderEquity #GenderGap #Clarivate #UKSG2023

Lessons from authorship studies for #DEI in research. Gali Halevi of Clarivate/ISI - used US census data to identify ethnicity. Low representation of Hispanic and Asian-Americans - other than computer science for the latter. https://clarivate.com/lp/ethnic-diversity-in-science/

"This work analyzes the expulsion of 82 journals from Web of Science (03/20/23) [relative to] Spain. IJERPH (MDPI) was expelled. If mega-journals account for XX%, IJERPH has 78.5% of the total."

Q: "It's only 2/82, why the bias on MDPI?"

This is why IJERPH is big news. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Una cosilla más, como apunta @alulomar, esto es solo el principio. En #Clarivate "We have invested in a new, internally developed AI tool to help us identify outlier characteristics that indicate that a journal may no longer meet our quality criteria" https://clarivate.com/blog/supporting-integrity-of-the-scholarly-record-our-commitment-to-curation-and-selectivity-in-the-web-of-science/

404: scholarship not found!

Was really impressed by the quality of a recent editorial in _Suomen Antropologi_ (Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society). The journal is listed in DOAJ.

But sadly it is not found within Clarivate's 'Master Journal List' https://mjl.clarivate.com/search-results

Really astonished at how much great scholarship gets excluded by Web of Science :(

@tomw This worries biomedical scientists on a daily basis, which is why they've made incentives to have perverse ranking systems devised and sold back to us to help us rank one another in terms of "productivity", all of which systems, too, have been gamed or diluted themselves. #Pubmed #Clarivate #googleScholar
