Science ranking is one more bullshit to deal nowadays. Like if the discovery of something new in a fiels ia going to care about how many medals you have hanging from your suit.
This is literally the bullshit that science magazines and publication entities love the most.
I had colleagues going to someones courses or presentation just because that persom had high publications score, no care about if it’s even interesting what that person did.
Are we trying to choke science with publications? Any dumbass can publish tons of stuff like a news reporter, does it matter? Apparently yes. Should it matter? No.

If quantity is the measure instead of quality: AI wins!
Repurposed joke: It’s able to make more mistakes faster than any other invention… with the possible exception of tequila and handguns.
