@restoreorderusa @AlecMacGillis I mean, points 2 and 3 don’t even make any sense! How would anyone know if a cited article has been read, and by whom? Did they survey readers and ask them? And does it add up that 50% of all articles (whether cited or not) aren’t read, while *80%* of cited articles aren’t read? pic.twitter.com/876e4vfdJ0
