This is what we mean when we say most journal level metrics are statistically irresponsible. Citation distributions are always extremely skewed and long-tailed. This means that averages like cites per doc per period don't say anything about the 'impact' of the great majority of papers appearing in a journal.
This is why article level metrics are much more sensible and informative than journal level ones. Don't judge a book by its cover. Don't judge scientific work by mindless metrics.

• did research
• learned something
• taught somebody
• submitted a manuscript
• stuck with it

Reminder that the only safe dummy domains to use are:
- example.com
- example.net
- example.org
And nowadays there's also a safe dummy TLD: .example
These are safe because they are reserved by IANA as as special-use domain names for documentation purposes on direction of IETF in RFC 2606 and RFC 6761.
Any other domain can be registered and as such should _never_ be used as a dummy domain for documentation or as eg. an example in default configs.

5: How to plan for RDM
If I've timed this right, I'm finishing up my talk at #aps23dc about using qualitative research in teaching. This is about the time I've accounced that our open qualitative group, Quala Lab, is starting to write an open access qualitative methods book, which will incorporate open science principles to the extent they are applicable.
If you're interested in getting involved or hearing when the book is done, learn more here: https://qualalab.org
Interesting venture at Cambridge University Library, a new research institute
"The UK’s research landscape has changed, and with it the role of research libraries. Research has become more collaborative and interdisciplinary, reaching beyond the boundaries of .. disciplines and recognising the contributions of a wider range of professionals.
"As a beacon of good practice... [we aim] to enhance international scholarship by connecting people and collections. "
