⬇️ why citation metrics are often irrelevant and not indicative of the actual significance / quality of the research.
Worse, some cite their buddies and the people who they think get them attention within certain institutional networks (citation mafia, aligning with the club). The people who cry for "meritocracy" as the guiding principle seldom enact it.
People on twitter are losing their minds over this, including several scientists who I have to assume have either brain poisoned themselves or were always like this. People don't always cite what's best; they cite what they know & researchers from historically excluded communities get the short end.

Discussing this phenomenon w/ a group of profs. Someone morbidly joked, “& northern profs are fleeing the country.” The next person said…”even if we were all willing & able to abandon this place there are not enough jobs for us globally and the U.S. employs a huge # of international scholars too.”
