I'm preparing a lecture on scientometrics for students, and this paper is a good example of research combining bibliometrics and altmetrics. It’s currently paywalled.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee concluded in Beijing on October 23. The session adopted the proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, which immediately sparked widespread debate among Chinese netizens. (1/6)

Interesting critique of preregistration by Luke Conway. It raises points worth considering beyond psychology. Worth reading and thinking about critically.

Average scores given to an article by ChatGPT based on its paradigmatic position relative to the article assessed. Error bars illustrate 95% confidence intervals. All differences are statistically significant. The theoretical score range is 1* to 4*. An “Antagonistic follower” supports the opposing paradigm of the article. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.22426
If an #AI is told to follow a certain academic paradigm, will it rate papers differently? 🤔 A study by @mikethelwall.bsky.social et al. shows: yes. Across 8 paradigm pairs and 1,490 papers, #ChatGPT scored lower when opposed, quietly penalizing ideas outside its frame. arxiv.org/abs/2510.22426

This dataset was used as the basis for an analysis by Titus Chen, focusing on the development of digital propaganda under Xi Jinping.

Because of WeChat’s data restrictions, such datasets are relatively difficult to obtain.

"Five times I tried to post something, five times it was shot down, and five times I revised it, until finally on the sixth try, I managed to get it through. The problem is, they don’t actually tell you which words were sensitive, and all you can do is use trial and error." - In a guide to navigating platform censorship, WeChat blogger 育知录 Yuzhilu talks about the frustration of having to endlessly revise a post to get past WeChat's "sensitive word" filters

I found this study methodologically sound and valuable. It treats AI realistically as a tool, not a ready-made solution for knowledge organization. It acknowledges serious limitations, but also strengths such as identifying potential new synonyms. It's a great source of ideas for new research.

The academic discussion about the definition of social media seems to be especially relevant in this case. I agree that we need to think carefully about limiting children’s access to social media in order to protect them.

The rise of China and the fall of open access
The theme of Open Access Week is "Who owns our knowledge?". The answer is increasingly likely to be "China".
James Butcher’s analysis shows a sharp rise in papers by Chinese researchers. At the same time, they publish mostly under closed access. The author argues that the future of open access depends on China. Interesting.

Perhaps one of the things we, as reviewers, should so is validate the references and if JUST ONE is fake the paper should be rejected. No other reason, just reject for that reason - which is justifibale, in my opinion.
