Open Access Metrics: Use REF2014 to Validate Metrics for REF2020

[Gopal T V]

Dear Prof. Yves Gingras,

Many thanks.

I liked the paper. The gospel of St. Mathews is indeed useful.

I note that you have chosen  the definition of duplicate papers given by
Lariviere and Gingras.

I will read it again more carefully as it also points at a caveat in the
peer - review process and has ethical dimensions.

Any idea as to "Why" do researchers publish duplicate papers in low -
impact factor journals as well within a span of an year or two ?

Also, how are duplicate paper pairs in [English, Non-English Language]
journals factored ? [This is the rephrased question that I have asked
in my earlier mail].

Your thoughts...

Warmest Regards
