Our new paper on GenAI and academic knowledge production: what professional AI influencers suggest on social media?

now I am editorial board member in one of my favourite journals (Journal of Multicultural Discourses). What is more, there are two Hungarians in the board, who can spot them?.

Hi, anyone has a connection with any Paris-based university? I apply for a fellowship and need an invitation letter to any Parisian uni. The host doesnt need to support financially, the fellowship covers everything. Thanks for sharing, too! 🥰.

Guaranteed monthly academic salaries in Hungary, 2025. Assistant professor: 532 Euro.Associate professor: 703 Euro.Full professor: 1006 Euro.

For us, Hungarian researchers, this result is quite bittersweet. I would say: .“do you want excellent results with minimal investment? Invest in Hungarian researchers!”.

Hungary is ranked first in Sci&Tech according to The Good Country Index, that looks at the contribution of the scientific community compared to the size of the economy, which is really very high, considering that salaries are really negligible compared to the Global North.

our paper on the internationalization of Chinese Social Sciences Research has been published open access.@ManuGoyanes .very important trends that would definitly influence global science production.

Publishing two papers simultaneously in the outstanding @jmcquarterly is a feeling that I cant even express 😍😍😍. @ManuGoyanes @_HGZ_ @Prof_Dimitrova.

I study academic knowledge production for 5+ years now, published 70+ academic papers and a monograph on this issue , so when I think that, with ANECA reforms, Madrid is the center of the fckng world, maybe I'm right. I feel lucky, because it is my favourite place as well :)

thanks @goes_by_kim for the cool interview and the outstanding article! Let's build a better system of academic knowledge production @_decolonise @sarahcummings @marumormina @ManuGoyanes @AcademicChatter @UWankings.

Contrary to expectations, prestigious scholarships awarded based on qualitative assessment, ignoring preliminary results, rarely lead to the enhanced performance of the supported researcher. In fact, the performance of these researchers tends to decline.

Taken together, these two results suggest that subjective evaluation neglecting preliminary scientific achievements is likely to lead to poor decisions, supporting less productive and less impactful researchers.

Our analysis also revealed that those who were already outstanding benefited the most from receiving the scholarship, while those performing below average did not improve and, on average, even worsened their previous performance.

And how their research reports were accepted by the evaluators. Should the €200,000 scholarship be refunded in such cases? Is the supervisor responsible? The assessors and panels accountable? Or is it simply a waste of EU funds?.

Over 40% of the awardees had not published any peer-reviewed and indexed studies before receiving the grant, and 25% did not publish during or after the fellowship period. How these individuals received excellent evaluations in the "previous scientific performance" category?.

Our research focused on the conditions of obtaining the most prestigious European scientific scholarships, MSCA, where so-called qualitative evaluation (i.e., when anonymous experts and panels decide, rather than relying on hard indicators) takes place. Results are startling:.

In fact, I often suspect that such reforms feed the breeding ground for nepotism, where anonymous experts and shadow committees evaluate applications at their discretion. But what are the chances of success for such a selection process?.

Lately, there has been much discussion in the academia about the need to consider qualitative criteria alongside or instead of scientometric indicators. This is sometimes referred to as "ethical scientometrics," although I dont know any credible ideas on what this would entail.

is the so-called qualitative research evaluation better than scientometric evaluation? Our newest study found that this is not the case, and a significant amount of research fund goes to unfertile projects. See comments for a more detailed story.

Hi Spanish friends, is there an official ANECA statement regarding unsubscribing from Scopus and WoS? I could not find it on ANECAweb, and it seems the accreditation still uses JCR and Scopus quartiles. @ManuGoyanes @beatrizjorda13 @mmc_campos.
