Yesterday, I read an interesting paper by Łukasz Remisiewicz in #Scientometrics, introducing the concept of "metric capital": academic indicators that researchers can accumulate and convert into positions, funding, promotions, and recognition. :doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-026-05848-y What I found particularly interesting is the concept of metrics–status decoupling, when strong bibliometric performance does not translate into academic standing. #ResearchAssessment #Bibliometrics #ResearchEvaluation
