Just received an invitation to publish in a journal edited by the one and only Bridget Jones.

Moving on from vodka and emotional crises to managing APCs with limited-time discounts is a big change, but I am happy for her.

No word yet from Mr. Darcy, but I’ll keep checking my inbox.

The overrepresentation of the United States in the field of legal studies in the science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators This paper investigates the overrepresentation of U.S.-based scholars in legal studies, focusing on patterns observed in the 2024 Ioannidis Science-wi…

Are US legal scholars truly that much better than their peers, or are we measuring excellence within a framework long tailored to Western traditions?

A sneak peek from a paper I'm writing:

This interesting Q1 journal (SJR > 1.2) publishes 15,000+ papers/year. APC: CHF 2900. Avg submission-to-publication time? 40 days. Yes, that includes peer review, revisions, editing β€” all in a month. This is crazy.

Guess the publisher and I’ll buy you a beer.

Spent nights dreaming about the best journal title for when I eventually found my own.
One that has everything: gravitas, prestige, an indication of excellence, a cheeky amount of ambiguity, and just enough SEO.

Unfortunately, this morning I discovered that it's already taken...

RIP my legacy.

View of Speaking for the Unheard

Global South scholars speaking on LGBTQ+ issues are still sidelined, censored, or used without power.

My new paper in KOME (Q2) aims to show the epistemic inequalities in academic publishing and why collaboration alone isn't enough. Link ⬇️

Funny thing – I have another paper on cancel culture at a random Hungarian publisher which was accepted back in 2022, never saw the day of light. 3 years passed haha.

For those criticizing academic knowledge production – incl. me – it is important to remember that there are two sides of the coin.

First D1 but not the last.
I have started my PhD in law researching cancel culture, never published anything in that domain. 3 years later, I picked up the topic again and did a scientometric analysis.

Interesting stuff, check it out.

Do you want to estimate causal effects for a small set of target variables without knowing the causal graph, but discovering it takes too long? Now you can get adjustment sets in a SNAP🫰accepted at #aistats2025!

What a week this has been and it's only Wednesday!

Two acceptance letters from two highly prestigious D1 journals, Wiley's Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies and T&F's Porn Studies.

Titles are blurred out for now but I will share with y'all the published manuscripts.

To many more!

Public Figures and Social Media from a Freedom of Expression Viewpoint in the Recent U.S. and EU Jurisdiction Social media has transformed political communication’s landscape, reshaping how politicians engage with the public and express their views. The tension between freedom of expression and the need for r...

What can public figures say on social media? This is a question that my Colleagues and I were working on with particular attention to the US and EU regulations on social media and free speech.

We have grave concerns about the current framework and we fear that darker days will come.

Has anyone of you ever seen anything like this? I am doing a scientometric overview of AI and peer review and following my specified string it lead to an egregious N of Erratums. Sorry for the screenshot quality.

Building on excellent research from Demeter, Goyanes, Ekdale, and many others, I have examined top journals and raised concerns over the overwhelming domination of Global North countries.

Things. Got. To. Change. Diversity should be more than a buzzword

Hybrid Regimes and the Right to Access the Internet – Findings from Turkey and Russia in the Context of the Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights | ELTE Law Journal

Hybrid regimes and the right to access the Internet have a rather complex relationship. If by complex we mean extremely oppressive and truly inhumane.

I express my anxiety and concerns over the future in this publication:

The manuscript shows great promise and covers an important topic.

However, before it can be accepted, the authors are kindly invited to include and implement the following 20 completely irrelevant papers by a magically gifted author who is, of course, absolutely not me.

I was kind of worried about the second round being slow for this paper I submitted in September. Turns out the reviewers still have a little time to reflect. Anyway, only 522 years to go now.

Institutional journal lists place an unfair burden on publishers Responding to the decision of the Finnish publication forum, Julkaisufoorumi, to downgrade so-called β€˜grey area’ journals, Frederick Fenter, argues that, by focusing on the publishers’ operating mo…

Is there anyone here who can help me better understand the JUFO system? I am looking to write a paper on the transparency issues in journal evaluation systems (e.g. Norwegian List) and I am kind of lost in terms of the Finnish system especially in view of this post:

Total newbie here but happy to connect with colleagues who are interested in scientometrics and science sociology.

Oh, and can’t let my first post go down without a shameless self-promotion. Check out my new paper in the IJSMC on Latin American law journals.
