»Wir leben in einer totalen Reputationsökonomie, in der Karrieren weniger über wissenschaftlichen und damit gesellschaftlichen Impact, sondern über Surrogate wie Zitierhäufigkeit des Publikationsorgans (sprich: Impact Factor), Zahl der Publikationen und eingeworbene Drittmittel gesteuert werden.«
Der 77. und leider letzte Streich unseres „Wissenschaftsnarren“
Dirnagl vorab online:
„Der Narr tritt ab!“ — Ein letztes Mal noch spießt er die Schwächen und Probleme im Wissenschaftssystem auf, vor allem dessen pervertierte Bewertungs- und Karrierepraxis.
