The Skewed Few
本文质疑了将少数高影响期刊、论文和作者视为顶尖的倾向,呼吁对这类赞誉保持怀疑,并更多关注那些未被纳入“少数”的众多作者、论文和期刊。
We tend to reify a few high-impact journals as top-tier, articles that appear in them as high quality (often without regard to their individual impact), and the small number of authors (and their institutions) who publish in them frequently as distinguished (and elite). Although such praise is warranted at times, the author hopes to encourage some skepticism in its granting and direct greater attention to “the many” authors, articles, and journals not found among “the few.”
