Use of the Journal Impact Factor in academic review, promotion, and tenure evaluations [PeerJ Preprints] - Use of the Journal Impact Factor in academic review, promotion, and tenure evaluations [PeerJ Preprints] https://t.co/rx8WYLsKnB
Interesting @PeerJPreprints article on use of the Journal Impact Factor in academic Review-Promotion-Tenure evaluation, 40% of research-intensive institutions explicitly mentioned the JIF, or closely related terms, in their RPT documents. https://t.co/mkRsoH1EYI
From @emckiernan13 et al: "87% of institutions that mentioned the #JIF supported [its] use...while 13% of institutions expressed caution about [its] use....None of the RPT documents we analyzed heavily criticized the JIF or prohibited its use."
