CWTS | Leiden University@cwts.nl · 2d ago

📣 New research seminar: Next week, @dkochetkov.bsky.social will give a talk on 'Crossing the Chasm: The PRC Model and the Future of Peer Review' @peerreviewweek.bsky.social 📅 Friday, 18/9/2026 | 3:00-4:15 PM (CEST) 📌 Online & in person at CWTS www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/events/20...

Fascinating new paper: how a 1971 Systran machine translation made for the U.S. Air Force shaped the Western reception of Naukometriya, the book that named our field - scientometrics. doi.org/10.1007/s111... #scientometrics #Nalimov #Naukometriya #SovietScience #HistoryOfScience #ScienceOfScience

An important paper by my wife Anya Schiffrin, @robertacarlini.bsky.social & Natalia Menéndez on LLMs and challenges to copyright laws in the US and Europe. They discuss ways to value news content, copyright negotiations & the consequences for media sustainability and diversity. tinyurl.com/4f45ee7u

New paper out: "Peer Review at the Crossroads" I analyzed 4 peer review models from traditional gatekeeping to Publish-Review-Curate. Key finding: no single model is ideal, but PRC shows promise for transparency & accessibility. Open access: doi.org/10.1002/leap... #PeerReview #OpenScience #STS

Intriguing and worth reading even if I find it hard to judge how meaningful is Ben’s Bridging Metric. Very much enjoyed the Hamming quote: “I cannot prove the cause-and-effect relationship; I can only observe the correlation”, which seems to me to apply to a lot of metascience questions! ;-)
