Enjoys digging into data about science, a good principled argument, and human dignity. Super annoyed by disinformation and anything that hurts researchers or knowledge. Sometime archaeologist (I like animal bones...)
Good question! The lowest rate by far are those publications where field can't be assigned (meaning the metadata is particularly poor anyway--probably without even an abstract available). Chemistry, Physical Sciences, and Engineering are rocking the ORCID, while the humanities are all lagging. -2024

Spotted on Facebook. Love this 100%

The excellent Mark Steel, on "voter apathy" (from Vive la Revolution: A Stand-up History of the French Revolution).

This @theguardian.com subtitle seems contradictory... 70% occupancy for an inauguration seems low, no? Not exactly "pouring in"?

I didn't spend 30 years learning how to write for some computer to take all the thought and soul out of my word craft.

Both seem essential at the moment

But among articles *with* an Altmetric Score (that is, we have found attention to that publication)... like citations, the median is much higher!
November 5, 2024 at 3:27 PM
And because I can't stop myself... for articles which *have* been cited, the median number of citations increases dramatically!

For the Altmetric Attention Score (for the record, otherwise don't aggregate it!):
SELECT DISTINCT year, APPROX_QUANTILES(altmetric_score, 100 IGNORE NULLS)[OFFSET(50)] AS median_score
FROM `altmetric.data_restricted_internal.research_outputs`
WHERE internal_qa.output_type = "article"
November 5, 2024 at 3:20 PM
SELECT year, APPROX_QUANTILES(citations_count, 100 RESPECT NULLS)[OFFSET(50)] AS median_citations
FROM `dimensions-ai.data_analytics.publications`
WHERE type = "article"
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY year DESC
