As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

Google Scholar’s citation errors skew h-index leaderboards Thousands of mistakenly awarded citations left uncorrected highlight the perils of leaving profile curation to academics, say critics

Google Scholar attributes papers automatically to authors, a problem with homonyms when they do not clean up their profiles. It is also generous in matching citations. #RePEc requires authors to claim their papers and has stricter criteria for citation matching, thus does not inflate stats.#EconSky
