Finally, our research musings meet @altmetric.com - @helenedraux.bsky.social highlights how real breakthroughs rest on decades of work and why we need metrics that reflect that full lineage, not just one article. based on an interesting example: researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-long-r...
Here our piece ( @digital-science.com
together with Peter Kolarz from Research On Research Institute (@rorinstitute.bsky.social)) on how Funders themselves need scrutiny if we want fair, unbiased decisions and a healthy research ecosystem.
Excellent inaugural post by @helenedraux.bsky.social and @kowb.bsky.social for the new series on #research #metrics highlighting disciplinary trend and focus - and kudos for sharing the code for #reproducibility

The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter
In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.
By quite a lot.

"...referring to the coastal waters of the US and Mexico, you could call it Gulf Coast for the US portion, and Atlantic coast of Mexico. Or you could talk about the specific states of the US and of Mexico that you'll be off the coast of."
Proves my point researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-gulf-o...
quote:" if your work sites are at the seafloor in the deepest part of the Gulf of Mexico, you could say that your locations are in the Sigsbee Deep. If you are by the Yucatán peninsula, Cuba, and Florida, you might use Yucatán channel, Campeche Bank, and the south Florida continental shelf. (2/3)
... and it is on: Just came across this very example (Gulf of America/Gulf of Mexico) posted yesterday under "Should I conform to problematic government-endorsed language when grant-writing?" (1/3) academia.stackexchange.com/questions/21...
...and here the German version that I grew up with: "Der Brockhaus in 26 Bänden"
This post began on a train when I heard someone point out Google Maps' different labels for the "Gulf of Mexico/America." It got me thinking about frequent name changes, evolving metadata standards, impact on scientometric research, and accessibility researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-gulf-o...
