| Summary: | During long time academy pondered the productivity of
authors as criterion of distinction, but this model seems to
be changed to citation impacts. In this short essay review,
which is centred in my own experience, we discuss to what
an extent the current editorial system is sustainable for the
discipline as well as in interests of market to restrict the
number of published papers. Nowadays, H-Index which is
oft-used as a useful instrument to rank scholars and
scientists confers further impact to those scholars who
publish few but are highly cited. Readers will see why this
model leads to feed editorial monopolies which are
ideologically framed to the belief that quality of papers are
not associated to their quality but the journal where they
are pipelined and published. |
