@thijs_bol Here's an interesting one from scientific research https://t.co/7WhMQt4K5v another: https://t.co/aGKj0FCqMf theory piece: https://t.co/Fr75a41thH https://t.co/aSSDUJaw1b
Academic stratification could be epistemically good, or bad, and we can't tell which one the current system is https://t.co/Fr75a40Vs9
A coda more from my own point of view. I was struck by the 1st pic. @RemcoHeesen and I have actually disputed something like this claim (https://t.co/fgnfJJgUpA) as per 2nd pic. For more see: https://t.co/B0BT527TW0 and https://t.co/BZQiaMqMTx Social epist

This is an instance of the Matthew effect and it's basically pervasive across pretty much every reward structure in science. Taken seriously it can have some quite far reaching consequences https://t.co/ytbM37bYQP

@ArthurCDent @AliceFromQueens Empirically indistinguishable from the Matthew effect, given how we now distribute resources and opportunities. https://t.co/ytbM37bYQP
Then in 2017 one paper by Remco and one by me in a similar vein. Remco suggested that we have little reason to think that so called Scientific Greats didn't just get lucky then enjoy cumulative advantage processes working in their favour. https://t.co/ytb

Finally, we turned to this paper by @RemcoHeesen. Heesen points to one incredibly important wrinkle: even if citations track *paper* quality a scholar's total citations may not track *that person's* quality. https://t.co/U1hH6djPf3
@erinhengel @IlliniBizDean @DinaPomeranz I've argued in print that you don't need to assume a notion of quality to explain the extremely hierarchical nature of science. A small degree of randomness in informativeness of individual papers is enough. https:/
