It feels very strange to me that any serious citation counter would index ResearchGate, which AFAIK don’t have any check before publishing a preprint. It is basically a more reputable xivra.
But then again citation count, or “impact factor”, are in general quite bad to determine the quality of one’s research, and often can be easily manipulated, simply by producing more mediocre papers.
I read “the most edited cat” and know I don’t know anymore
What if Larry spent all his days daydreaming about numerical analysis and the crisis of replicability of scoentific articles, but all he could say was “meow”?
When I read the title, I thought “Surely this Larry cannot be more cited than the famous F. D. C. Willard”. But then I read the article and it turns out that’s very specifically the record Larry broke.

I read it as “world’s most excited cat” and was confused on how someone is supposed to interpret from that face as the cat being “excited” 😅
