    Yeah but in China the government invests in science so it’s cheating and also authoritarian. They should only include papers that are the product of public private partnerships.

    that’s interesting, because people in the US and Canada are obsessed with Chinese students spying and stealing data to bring back to China- looks like they don’t have to do that huh? Looks like the US and Canada should be spying on Chinese universities instead (they are undoubtedly)

    Not to discredit anyone but don’t a lot of universities just pump out shitty scientific articles exactly because universities are ranked using this metric?

    Once any metric is used to measure success it immediately becomes useless. Or something like that
