Um dos principais objetivos do paper citado é justamente o de denunciar a desconexão entre o famigerado "Impact Factor" e *good science*. JM >> Deep Impact: Unintended consequences of journal rank >> http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.3748 >> >> Björn Brembs, Marcus Munafò >> >> Most researchers acknowledge an intrinsic hierarchy in the scholarly >> journals ('journal rank') that they submit their work to, and adjust >> not only their submission but also their reading strategies >> accordingly. On the other hand, much has been written about the >> negative effects of institutionalizing journal rank as an impact >> measure. So far, contributions to the debate concerning the >> limitations of journal rank as a scientific impact assessment tool >> have either lacked data, or relied on only a few studies. In this >> review, we present the most recent and pertinent data on the >> consequences of our current scholarly communication system with >> respect to various measures of scientific quality (such as >> utility/citations, methodological soundness, expert ratings or >> retractions). These data corroborate previous hypotheses: using >> journal rank as an assessment tool is bad scientific practice. >> Moreover, the data lead us to argue that any journal rank (not only >> the currently-favored Impact Factor) would have this negative impact. >> Therefore, we suggest that abandoning journals altogether, in favor of >> a library-based scholarly communication system, will ultimately be >> necessary. This new system will use modern information technology to >> vastly improve the filter, sort and discovery functions of the current >> journal system. >> _______________________________________________ >> Logica-l mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l _______________________________________________ Logica-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l
