Merits of Multiple Post-Publication Metrics Do Not Relegate Peer Review To Generic "Pass/Fail"

Amsciforum 2013-03-10

Summary:

More Value From Post-Publication Metrics Does Not Entail Less Value From Pre-Publication Peer Review. It would be ironic if the valid and timely call for a wider and richer variety of post-publication metrics -- in place of just the unitary journal average (the journal impact factor) -- were coupled with an ill-considered call for collapsing the planet's wide and rich variety of peer-reviewed journals and quality levels onto a unitary global pass/fail grade.
