GIScience publishing trends put Enschede on the global map...

This paper (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13658816.2015.1130831) has a couple of interesting facts for everyone working in GIScience / Geoinformatics, and for us in particular. No matter how you stand on scientometric / bibliographic analysis, and whether you hate impact factors or not, it's good to know when you do well in them. The paper investigates the publishing and citation trends of the most important GIScience journals (nice overview for our PhD candidates in particular), but also looks at national trends (e.g. correlation between papers and citations on the one hand, and country population and GDP on the other hand). Table 7 on paper collaborations between cities puts Enschede (i.e. ITC, i.e. GIP) there three times (with Wuhan, Wageningen and Delft). So Enschede might not have the most interesting night life or most appealing climate, but it is a bright spot on the global GIScience landscape.
