Une sévère critique du Journal Ranking
Deep Impact : Unintended consequences of journal rank
Björn Brembs and Marcus Munafò
▻http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1301/1301.3748.pdf
1) Journal rank is a weak to moderate predictor of scientific impact;
2) Journal rank is a moderate to strong predictor of both intentional and unintentional scientific unreliability;
3) Journal rank is expensive, delays science and frustrates researchers; and,
4) Journal rank as established by IF violates even the most basic scientific standards , but predicts subjective judgments of journal
quality.
[...]
one implication of the data reviewed here is that we can instead
use current technology and remove the need for a journal hierarchy completely.
