The use and abuse of journal quality lists
作为ABS期刊质量列表的编辑,本文回应了近期暂停或废除期刊质量列表的呼声,认为这些呼声强化了不应将发表场所的隐性知识显性化的精英观点。
The ABS list is one of the most widely used journal quality lists available. It is pluralistic and comprehensive, and is widely seen as capturing the consensus in relation to journal ratings. As editors of the ABS list we are concerned at recent calls for a moratorium, or even the abolition of journal quality lists. These calls reinforce the elitist view that the tacit knowledge of where to publish should not be made explicit in lists.
