6/9/2016 The Gold Standard in academia…. And how do we assess the quality or importance of these ….is publication of research scholarly journals? findings in scholarly journals By name dropping? "I had a patient a number of years ago, in Boston — I wrote about the case in the New England Journal of Medicine. It was a girl the same age as your patient here. She was walking to the university when someone shot her with a crossbow. The arrow entered at the outside edge of her left eyebrow and went straight through her head, exiting from almost the middle of the back of her neck." "And she survived?" 3

6/9/2016 By holding a Press Conference? How do we quantitate the value of the scholarly journals? • Most journals have an IF of 1-5, meaning that if they publish 100 papers in a 2 year Journal Impact Factor period, they are cited 100-500 times IF for 2015 = A/B • Online junk journals, proliferating and profitable, with dodgy peer-review, are A = number of papers published in the about IF 0.3, meaning…. Journal in 2013 & 2014 • Super journals, eg Nature, Science, Cell, B = number of times those papers were have IF ca 30 cited in indexed scholarly journals in • Some Chairs insist their Faculty achieve 2015 8 IFs per year 4
