  Abstract: The research evaluation market is booming. "Ranking," "metrics," "h-index," and "impact factors" are reigning buzzwords. Government and research administrators want to evaluate everything -- teachers, professors, training programs, universities -- using quantitative indicators. Among the tools used to measure "research excellence," bibliometrics -- aggregate data on publications and citations -- has become dominant. Bibliometrics is hailed as an "objective" measure of research quality, a quantitative measure more useful than "subjective" and intuitive evaluation methods such as peer review that have been used since scientific papers were first published in the seventeenth century. In this book, Yves Gingras offers a spirited argument against an unquestioning reliance on bibliometrics as an indicator of research quality. Gingras shows that bibliometric rankings have no real scientific validity, rarely measuring what they pretend to. Although the study of publication and citation patterns, at the proper scales, can yield insights on the global dynamics of science over time, ill-defined quantitative indicators often generate perverse and unintended effects on the direction of research. Moreover, abuse of bibliometrics occurs when data is manipulated to boost rankings. Gingras looks at the politics of evaluation and argues that using numbers can be a way to control scientists and diminish their autonomy in the evaluation process. Proposing precise criteria for establishing the validity of indicators at a given scale of analysis, Gingras questions why universities are so eager to let invalid indicators influence their research strategy.

  ISBN 3-527-29041-9
  
  Abstract: The book evaluates the peer reviews presented to the Editorial Office of the journal Angewandte Chemie for all contributions submitted for publication in 1984. The peer review system, since its inception in the 17th century, helps to improve the quality of published papers. The book has 10 chapters, dealing with the peer review as an instrument for the self-regulation of science, as a target for criticism, it deals with the journal Angewandte Chemie, the communications received in 1984, the internal and external evaluations and editorial decisions, the reviewers and the reviews, the reliability of manuscript refereeing, the fairness in manuscript evaluation, the validity of manuscript review and makes suggestions for a reform of the peer-review process
