Citation behaviour isn’t a meritocracy.
It’s shaped by social ties and topic overlap.
Let’s rethink how we evaluate research impact.

Very nice post about how the concept of innovation made it to the forefront of contemporary economics, even earning its proponents the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences.
New Substack post: the Nobel Prize goes to an economic historian and two economists of growth trying to answer the question, where do new technologies come from?

It looks like the Wikipedia page for Mary Brunkow got created literally just this morning, after her Nobel Prize was announced. I had heard that women in academia tend to be somewhat under-represented on Wikipedia, but this is a particularly stark example.

The pathologies of academic publications-as-currency seem to finally be reaching a breaking point with AI. I wonder what’s next (beyond the more foundational societal disruptions happening around us)
We're experiencing an unbelievable deluge of submissions. At our journal we got ~200 per year in 2020. Last year it was 600. This year it's 800 with several months to go. So that's why we're slower to get stuff out for review.

Network analysis aspires to be “anticategorical,” yet its basic units—relationships—are usually readily categorized ('friendship,' 'love'). Thus, a nontrivial cultural typification is asserted in the very building blocks of most network analyses.
