Today I had the pleasure of presenting my fellowship research at the weekly interdisciplinary #VUIAS seminar.

One of the key messages was simple: metrics often reveal symptoms, but understanding integrity problems requires looking at research environments, incentives, and organisational cultures.

Four years later, just a meaningless comparison for fun.

Grateful to #VUIAS for the opportunity to present my workshop "Ranked but Not Heard: Metrics and the Position of Ukrainian Scholarship" during the Academic and Public Positioning for Ukrainian Scholars workshop in Vienna.

The presentation explored academic visibility, scientometrics, open scholarly infrastructures, and the challenges Ukrainian researchers face within global systems of research evaluation.

"The FoSci Report 2026: Understanding, Detecting, and Documenting Manipulation in the Research Ecosystem"

In this report, 17 authors – among them scholarly sleuths and investigators of science, from academia and industry – come together to present a primer on the field of forensic scientometrics.

This paper explores the fascinating phenomenon of “zombie journals” – journals that continue to exist after their editorial boards resign and launch rival “breakaway journals.”

Using cases from linguistics and bibliometrics, the study shows that journal brands can survive institutional crises, but often with dramatically changed author communities, citation patterns, and academic identities.

Almost skipped a new paper in #Scientometrics - glad I didn’t. A key point: fundamental research is often too uncertain for the market, so universities become crucial for helping ideas survive through startups, accelerators, and entrepreneurial networks. #Patent licensing, meanwhile, depends more on real long-term collaboration with industry than on fancy “technology transfer offices”.

I’m glad to share my paper on publication activity and migration trends of Ukrainian SSH scholars during the first two years of the full-scale war.

The key finding: the most productive researchers have largely remained in #Ukraine and many have maintained or even increased their publication activity, despite the challenges.

Today I gave a talk on @OpenAlex — the largest open database of scholarly metadata. #OpenAlex offers a broader and more inclusive view of science, making previously “invisible” research more visible.

At the same time, it raises important questions about metadata quality, data completeness, and how we interpret metrics.

A key takeaway: research evaluation can vary significantly depending on the data source and analytical choices.
