All this Bru-ha-ha over the "impact factor" business, and a simple fact is missed. Unless there is a SINGLE logical alternative to the all-pervasive impact factor, it can never be replaced...even if there is a document with "200 signatures of working scientists" on it. Its like replacing the US gallon. Come on scientists, think harder....

The PI BlogThis blog exists because my wife seemed a bit tired of being the only recipient of my random pontifications on life and Science for many years; and gently encouraged me to vent in a blog instead. From time to time, I put down thoughts that occur to me as I naiively stumble through a life in Science - bestowed upon me by accident (literally!). Please keep in mind that these musings are rather obvious things of little or no use to anyone, and are certainly not personally targeted in any way, even though they are obviously derived from my experiences. OK, enough said. Archives
