Academia exploring new approaches for evaluating researchers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Friends, Citations and impact factors are no longer the be all and end all of careers in research. Please read this article in Science (AAAS): https://www.science.org/content/article/how-academia-is-exploring-new-appro… . You may also wish to look up https://doi.org/10.20529/IJME.2018.024 . The same way, as I have been predicting for some time, journals will no longer be the primary means of knowledge exchange. They will go the way floppy disks and CD-Rom have gone. Preprints and peer reviewed preprints will be the norm. As Alfred Lord Tennyson said, "Old order changeth, yielding place to new. Best wishes.
