Christoph Hornung<p>Die großen Verlage behaupten ihre Position. Eine große Rolle spielt dabei der Journal Impact Factor (JIP). Er ist insbes. in den Naturwissenschaften eine zentrale Orientierungsgröße bei der Entscheidung, wo man einen Artikel einreicht.<br>Beim <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/JournalImpactFactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JournalImpactFactor</span></a> ist der Zhg. von Zitationen &amp; Qualität fraglich: A. Wakefield stellte einen Zhg. zw. einer Impfung &amp; Autismus her. Die Studie war gefälscht, W. verlor seine Zulassung als Arzt. Die Arbeit wird häufig zitiert – als Negativbeispielt.</p>
