<< Cosmo.WebHome %TOC% ---- ---+ Authoritarian control of research bibliometry in the EU * As of 2019, scientists in much of the EU, and in particular Poland, are *forced* to use bibliometry databases run by private subcontractors owned by private corporations that respond to the market, not to academic/intellectual standards: * "Web of Science" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_Science - as of 2019 is owned by Clarivate Analytics which is owned by *Onex Corporation* WikipediaEn:Onex_Corporation ($31 billion in assets as of 2019 according to the Wikipedia page) and *Baring Private Equity Asia* WikipediaEn:Barings_Bank#Aftermath (about which no information is known in the English language Wikipedia). * "Scopus" owned by Elsevier, which as of 2019, has a rather bad academic reputation: WikipediaEn:Elsevier#Academic_practices * How seriously can we trust the academic standards of corporations of which one seems to be secret (Baring Private Equity Asia) and one has a bad academic reputation? Bibliometry decisions lie at the core of our system of organising knowledge in the sense of scientific/academic research. -- Main.BoudRoukema - 17 May 2019
