Google Scholar has introduced a 'Sh-index' metric that scores papers higher if you are first or last author. Apart from the fact metrics are generally bad, this one explicitly punishes PIs who often collaborate, publishing with 2 or 3 equal PIs at the end of the list.

Google Scholar tool gives extra credit to first and last authors
Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.

Does anyone in the #chemsky community have strong opinions on the abbreviations UV-Vis, UV-VIS or UV/VIS? I need to resolve a conflict between two co-authors 😀
It seems the first is more common, but is there a "correct" version?
IUPAC seems undecided 🤔https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.L03638
