Oh! I finally got to see a comic in Scientometrics! 😄 :doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-026-05780-1 The authors took the famous #xkcd joke about the "hierarchy of sciences" and decided to test whether sciences can really be arranged so neatly in a single line. It turns out there is no clear ladder from "soft" to "hard" sciences, and some disciplines that seem far apart are actually surprisingly similar. #Scientometrics #ScienceOfScience #ScholarlyCommunication #Research
