Tout va bien, c'est humoristique

Thanks to an awesome collaborator and their creative students.

@profpaulyoung.bsky.social looks interesting.

The suspense was killing me...

LOL! I could not guess at all! a cardboard crown like we used to do for school dramas with gold flashy paper would have made it!

I can't figure what Disney villain you are. What are you?

Read the latest post by Gaurav with more details.

is that everyone hates (a strong word) any type of metric and everyone is quite vocal about it. The grief/frustration/annoyance transcends all fields of science.

Meanwhile, Keep Calm and find your Sh-index!!! ☮️8/8

As said, this is an add-on & one can ignore, just as we have ignored i10-index as a measure (anyone still using it?). But, it is a good exercise in data mining and EDA. I found some insights about my publication landscape. Maybe you can? One good thing that came of this ... 7/8

This plot is probably a better distribution? Also, the first horizontal plot indicates more information. One can see that the 1st author citations (greenish bar) has increased showing actual 1st author paper citations. Corresponding author also changed. 6/8

My collaborative citations didn't change much, which is good. Co-authorship in my case was not dead weight, which is what is assumed with co-authorship in publications. 5/8

And here are the before and after Sh-Index of mine. The count obviously changed and my Sh-index dropped from Sh-index 12 to 11. Yay! 🎉Why am I happy? Bcos this is probably my almost correct (normalized?) h-index than 21 as shown in Google Scholar (?) 4/8

Gaurav said on today's call and messages that it is a pre-requisite to mark authorship contributions with ^ and * symbols. So, it is up to the authors to do this painstaking task. I did it while listening to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake (it is the season, sorry) 🎄🎄🤶🧑‍🎄🎅🎃👻3/8

I am not in favor of any metrics, since they are all reductive in manner and do not capture the correct picture. However, if I deny that the metrics-based evaluation should not exist, then I am living under a rock. Proxy measures are used widely. Take it with bucket of salt!!! 2/8
