Proud of the Complex Systems Society's stand about supporting initiatives for open science and reducing the impact of "impact factor" metrics. We started this conversation when I was in the Executive Committee and I am only glad to see this black on white.

The new website for our CogNosco Lab is ready!
We work on cognitive data science and AI psychometrics, using complex networks to investigate knowledge in the minds of humans and large language models.
