I can foresee better metrics round the corner. Indeed, if I may, may I quote a recent related comment from Chris Surridge:-<BR/><BR/>"Amen to that.<BR/><BR/>A reliance on journal impact factors to rate individual scientist work have probably done more to distort and impede scientific discovery than any amount of faith based zealots and pig ignorant politicians (you know who I'm talking about!). They are about as good at ranking how important the contents of a journal are, as first weekend box-office takings are at judging how good a movie is.<BR/><BR/>The sooner that researchers are freed from their tyranny the better!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161711368434758108noreply@blogger.com
