Re-analysis of Adema et al. (2025a)
Adema et al. (2025a) critically reassesses the findings of Ciacci (2024), arguing that the reported effects result from statistical errors and flawed empirical implementation. This response systematically addresses those claims by applying their proposed methodology to the corrected sample outlined in Ciacci (2025). The analysis confirms that the large positive estimated coefficient linking the criminalization of sex purchase to reported rape cases is not attributable to technical or coding mistakes. Rather, the differences in robustness observed in Ciacci (2025) arise from the estimation of a distinct target parameter and the implementation of alternative robustness checks, not from errors in the original study. In addition, this reply identifies methodological and procedural issues in Adema et al. (2025a), including comparisons across nonequivalent specifications and limited consideration of contextual assumptions. The response advocates for a more transparent, respectful, and collaborative approach to replication, particularly when addressing sensitive topics that demand scientific integrity and academic rigor

Comparison of several author indices for gauging academic productivity
Background
Many author indices exist to gauge academic productivity. Several of these indices are calculated based upon an author's scholarly publication record, but the measurement methodology to calculate each index varies considerably, and the precise function being used, as well as the end result, is often complex and difficult to assess.
Method
Two straightforward methods to weigh author productivity from the publication and citation record were evaluated as possible means for providing a clearer assessment of scholarly activity. The author characteristic index (termed c-index) assigns author rank for each publication based upon author position. The characteristic prime (c') -index normalizes author rank from author position, so that the total weight per publication is unity. The top 10 scholars with keyword 'celiac disease' in the Google Scholar database were then assessed using these metrics. Rankings according to total number of publications, h-index, and c- and c'-indices were compared, then tabulated along with total papers included for assessment, and mean values per paper for author position, number of authors, citations, and year of publication.
Results
The order of the top ten authors with keyword 'celiac disease' varied substantially depending upon whether the h-index, c-index, or c'-index was used as a gauge. The characteristic indices assign credit to authors according to their position in an author list. The affiliated metrics provided a more complete picture of scholarly activity.
Conclusions
Academic achievement by scholars, based upon quantitative publication characteristics, has recently become of interest for evaluating job candidates, for determining work performance, and for bestowing awards and honors. The characteristic indices as described herein are readily calculated and interpreted, and may improve the assessment of scholarly activity
