No 2025-09, The Unjournal Evaluations from The Unjournal

Abstract: We organized one evaluation of the paper: "Stagnation and Scientific Incentives". The paper implies that this "stagnation" is attributable to the rise of citation-based bibliometrics. To read this evaluation, please see the link below. The evaluator argues that this paper "lacks sufficient support [for] its claims", and "struggles in terms of accuracy, novelty, and generalizability". He recommends "a discussion of the difference between citation indices and journal lists [and] ... how they impact scientist evaluations", "a comparison to non-scientific fields", some "regression model[s] or statistical tests" and "formal definitions of the terms at hand (e.g. scientific play, exploration, breakthrough, giant, etc.)"
