Being a modern-day academic feels like being a stockbroker at times. I was browsing a journal rankings website (SJR): it has all the info and visuals you need to make a good 'investment' (aka journal submission) in our metrics obsessed miasma of stupidity #AcademicChatter 
Cos it's really important to know the difference between 1st and 6th place for any given journal in a given year. THAT ALMOST CERTAINLY REFLECTS THE QUALITY OF YOUR SCHOLARSHIP AND THOSE OF OTHERS.
Also which sadist came up with this section, 'cited versus uncited documents'?? This is the journal equivalent to the 'gallery of shame'. How dare you tarnish their good name & soil our H Index. AND YE WHO IS NOT CITED SHALL BE CAST OUT OF THE ACADEMY AND SMITED. #SmiteTheUncited
