Summary:

presentation by Elizabeth Gadd
 
With the advent of responsible metrics approaches such as DORA, and their endorsement by funders such as cOAlitions S and the Wellcome Trust, there is a significant anti-journal metric backlash. Alternative ways of assessing journals are being proposed, such as TOP Factor and the Quality Open Access Market, but are yet to gain traction. This talk explores the many ways we can evaluate a journal; whether journal citation metrics are always a bad thing; and how we might move towards a fairer assessment of the relative strengths and weaknesses of journals.
