hope indian sci/decision makers read this what i've been telling at every single mtg. but alas, it always fall in deaf ears. why? because, its the same set of people who believe in these arcane metrics represent the community in all award/grant committees.

Fire & Guestrin: ”Goodhart’s Law is clearly being illustrated: when a citation-based measure becomes the target, the measure itself ceases to be meaningful, useful, or accurate.”

I like their conclusion. We should "use data-science tools and release datasets to promote new measures." Not the unreachable "evaluate quality" I hear everywhere.

Yes! I’m saving this to bring to my college’s research committee in the fall so we can amend the rankings for types of scholarly output (monograph is still king in their estimation :-/ )
Some of the smartest people go into research. We tell them citation count and h-metric matter for their careers. And now these smart people game these simple metrics! I am shocked, I tell you, shocked! It was entirely impossible to predict this behavior.
