Why Journal-Based Metrics Should Not Be Used in Researcher Evaluation

The video explores the limitations of using journal-based metrics—such as Impact Factor and national classification systems—to assess researchers. Originally designed to evaluate journals, these metrics fail to reflect the actual quality, relevance, and impact of individual research outputs. The video emphasizes how relying on such metrics can shift focus away from meaningful contributions and discourage diverse forms of research dissemination. It calls for a more responsible and holistic approach to research evaluation.

Why the h-index is inadequate for researcher evaluation

The video explains how the h-index is calculated and highlights its limitations as a tool for evaluating researchers. While widely used, the h-index oversimplifies scientific contributions, varies across disciplines, disadvantages early-career researchers, and differs between databases. It also fails to reflect broader societal impact. A more holistic approach is needed for fair and meaningful research assessment.
