Steele-with-Logo-CroppedROBERT STEELE: I remain aghast at the ignorance and complacency and general dishonesty of most so-called “intelligence” professionals (both government and corporate as well as academic and non-government). Not only do they not “do” citation analytics, but they have no clue — nor do they care that have no clue — that citation analytics only address the 1% of all paper written that are published in generally-dishonest “peer reviewed” journals all of which are pursuing a mixed agenda of profit, control, and mis-direction. No one, anywhere, does multilingual citation analytics, nor do the drill down to the 99% of the paper written but not published, nor do they drill down to the latest graduate-level hands-on work that has not been published but can be accessed by direct human contact (Open Source Intelligence is HUMAN, not technical, and it demands analytic production tailored to a need, not just acquisition of information).
