      1. 1.2.1

        International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

        According to the Journal Citation Reports the journal had a 2021 impact factor of 4.614, ranking it 100th out of 279 journals in the category "Environmental Sciences" and 71st out of 203 journals in the category "Public, Environmental & Occupational Health"

        In general, an impact factor of 10 or higher is considered remarkable, while 3 is good, and the average score is less than 1. The very prestigious journal Nature had an impact factor of 69.504 in the year 2021.

      2. 1.2.2

        Predatory publishers are really awful beasts. It costs an incredible amount to publish in top journals ($US12,290 for one open access article in Nature) so there is bit of money to be made by dodgy publishers with the huge pressure on academics to publish.

  2. 2

    If Costello can "earn" a $250million rebate on that "evidence" then the Cabinet must be very, very stupid.

    And it probably will be left un-challenged because this lot dumps lots of crooked activity, laughs and walks away untouched.

  5. 5

    An interesting thing I saw in one of the census reports was that Wellingtonians has the lowest levels of working from home in the 2013 and 2018 censuses but were fourth in the 2023 census. So, for all Nationals talk, Wellingtonians are really not much different to everyone else in WFH now. You would think National would like their beuracrats taking up less rental space (all that money saved) but those (business) landlords have to be appeased.

    Anyway, it a figure just over half way down the page – https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/2023-census-population-dwelling-and-housing-highlights/
