Finally, my review paper on university rankings has been published in Quantitative Science Studies https://doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00317. It was a long way. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor @LudoWaltman@social.cwts.nl , with whom we had a dozen R&R rounds. Hope this paper will contribute to the discussion around university rankings and their role in research assessment and policy initiatives.

New preprint on arXiv: “Who Owns the Knowledge? Copyright, GenAI, and the Future of Academic Publishing”. I discuss CC Signals, recent court cases, and argue that training GenAI on scholarly outputs should not be treated as a fair use exception.

The piece on AI's impact on academic research featuring my commentary has been published in Chinese Social Sciences Daily: https://www.cssn.cn/skgz/bwyc/202507/t20250725_5907089.shtml
While AI integration poses ethical challenges, from data privacy to authorship standards, it also expands research capacity for genuine breakthroughs. Our focus must remain on steering this partnership toward rigorous, humanity-centered scholarship.

'Registered Revisions is a policy that activates when peer reviewers request new data or analyses. Instead of ad hoc revisions, authors draft a revision plan which, if approved, grants in-principle acceptance (IPA).'

This paper [in Russian] explores the pressing need for the development of science studies in Russia as a transdisciplinary field, addressing key issues such as the divergence from global research agendas and the gap between academia and policy-making. I sincerely invite you to read the findings and join a discussion on how overcoming disciplinary barriers and integrating science studies into higher education can foster a more cohesive approach to scientific advancement.
In a recent interview for China Social Sciences Daily, I critiqued how university rankings reduce education to a numbers game, ignoring teaching, social impact, and the unique DNA of each institution.
