| Mar 27, 2023 at 13:27 | comment | added | EarlGrey | @user354948 the young researchers that are cited are the promising one that are going to win grants and perform nice international collaborations. Good quality in this research is sufficient, but not necessary: pretty boring and not novel research may get promoted, because the researchers profiles are "interesting" in the long term or simply because these young researchers seems the over-the-average-achieving, while in fact they are simply good&"smart" at taking merit of someone else work. | |

| May 20, 2022 at 12:35 | comment | added | user354948 | @EarlGrey Ok, maybe the reasons make the thankyou unwarranted. Good point. | |
| May 20, 2022 at 5:25 | comment | added | EarlGrey | @user354948 do you mean I am 1/3 right or 2/3 right or 3/3 right? I especially hope you will ponder about the deep reasons you are (so much) thankful for the citation. | |
| May 19, 2022 at 22:47 | comment | added | user354948 | @EarlGrey No, no coauthors, thanks. I guess we naive people think that you guys are cynical. Of course I believe in meritocracy: I never wrote anything awful that was published and cited. | |
