THE IMPACT FACTOR SYNDROME
by Mailing List Admin 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:49:05 +0530 From: sameer jha <jha9090(a)gmail.com> As a library professional, I consider this important to share it with all the concerned members of the fraternity that, currently, the impact factor, h-indices and similar other quantities have, unjustifiably, become the only yardsticks to measure the quality of one's scientific contributions. It discourage the authors and researcher to submit their manuscripts to national journals. Adding the pain, this is considered as a rule of thumb by the peers and judges also. The younger lot has also started to feel that the publication in the so-called International journal alone can give them recognition and job. The conditions all around us has been made so pathetic that even in job application forms, there is a distinction between national and international journals. My question is very simple -Do the national journals not have international authorship, visibility or recognition? -Aren't we producing good quality scientific article? -Aren't national authors getting published in international journals? Luckily, there are many who share this pain...one of the person I would like to mention is Dr. S.C. Lakhotia of cytogenetics laboratory, Department of Zoology, Banaras Hindu University. He has corresponded his pain in one of his article in the CURRENT SCIENCE Journal: http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/25aug2010/411.pdf Thanking you all with regards.. SAMEER JHA
