"Bibliometric Distortion": The Babblarazzi Are At It Again...

[Jonathan Adams]

I'm not planning this.  I understand the recommendation is from our
colleagues at Leiden, in a report to HEFCE that will be made public
later this month.
So far as outputs in Thomson-indexed journals go, I think it's feasible
(and we have been analysing some scenarios using earlier data
reconciliation and analyses we did for HEFCE) but I wouldn't recommend
it because of the games playing that I suspect would ensue.

Dear Jonathan, 

How are you planning to do this? Interesting. 

Best wishes,
