RE: Open Science and scientific journals - When the Blockchain could be helpful
One of the main problems is, that as a scientist, your success is measured by the number of papers you can publish in big journals and how many times you get quoted. Even if the quality of the content is not so amazing in the end.
I think, it's important to solve the visibility problem for less-known scientists and to decrease the power of the journal publishers.
I agree, but it is not an easy problem to solve. I think we should take the first steps in this way, it's silly to expect things can change by themselves...
This depends on the field. This is not the case anymore everywhere. For instance, one often measures instead the impact of the researcher, which includes papers and citations, but also conferences, seminars, etc.
