摘要

The Science Citation Index of Eugene Garfield considers the number of citations of a paper in subsequent journal literature as a reliable measure of its importance/influence in contemporary research. Depending on how often papers in a journal are cited, it is assigned an impact factor (IF). Leading or top journals have therefore high IFs. Even Garfield would not have expected that those who distribute money, positions and awards would resort to evaluate scientists not by the intrinsic merit of their scientific contributions, but by proxy indicators of performance like IF of journals containing their publications. Instead of fighting this insidious development, scientists the world over have caved in and become increasingly desperate to publish in a few top journals. In an incisive and timely article in a recent issue of Nature, Lawrence sums up the situation tersely and succinctly. 'If we publish in a top journal we have arrived, if we don't we haven't.... The result is an audit society in which each (proxy) indicator is invested with a specious accuracy and becomes an end in itself....Although there are good reasons for publishing papers where they are more likely to be read, when we give the journal priority over the science, we turn ourselves into philistines in our own world.' In India, a small minority of scientists (mainly in physics and chemistry) publish in top journals, while a majority settle for any foreign journal equivalent to or a shade better than a corresponding Indian journal.
