Awesome work by @prauten.bsky.social who persevered to find out why evaluations looked so strange, where it came from, and how it can be fixed.

We found -70 affected papers in Nature journals alone. So the likely number is in the 100s.
How much it affects conclusions depends on which reliable metrics were also used.

Please stop using it. Choose proper metrics to help you understand whether your tool is doing what it is supposed to!

Many of the NCBI resources and eRA Commons were run by contractors. However, many of these folks were apparently converted to Fed positions at the end of last year to protect them.

This means that many of them were probationary NIH employees...

Trying to run this down...

On his album “Da Questa Parte Del Mare” Gianmaria Testa stated:

“Being rooted means not separating yourself from others. If you know where you come from, you can open yourself up to others. That's exactly the opposite of what political parties like [insert local choice] tell us.”
