@LennartVerhagen @Abebab @lebzafosho Neither did I. Fact it this is an important measure most serious research institutions use for promotion, whether you like it or not. https://t.co/UvFHWRIdy4

@Divorytaur @Abebab @lebzafosho I have never claimed IF is the ultimate solution and without issues (more so for the social sciences). Fact is this is sill a measure that most serious research institutions use fr promotion, whether you like it or nor. https://t.co/UvFHWRIdy4

@statsepi @Abebab @lebzafosho @DORAssessment Let me guess, you are not from a natural science background. We tend to more faith in impact factors of journals and H-index of academics, although not blind faith. Whether you like it or not, these are universally used by serious institutions.

IF is still largely used for review, promotion, and tenure in US and Canada, suggesting that "there is work to be done" to improve those processes to avoid potential misuse of such metrics. Journal Impact Factor in evaluations https://t.co/cFysnFcJSo via @PeerJPreprints

The continued "impact" of the Journal Impact Factor for review, promotion and tenure evaluations should not be underestimated, according to this preprint https://t.co/1qTMMZ1t6I and https://t.co/uDtATvfUcK @PeerJPreprints

So, 40% of research universities report using journal impact factors in hiring and promotion decisions. That means the other 60% lied.
