Nefarious-Numbers.pdf Before myretirement in 2001, I have never heard of Impact factor and H-index inscholarly life and only vaguely aware of SCI. In fact to this date, thesepseudo-quantitative measurements of scholarly fame and achievement are stillregarded with suspicion and not often used in evaluation (see http://bbs.sciencenet.cn/home.php?mod=spaceuid=1565do=blogid=30274 ) in the western world. However, in China and because of the emphasis onquantitative measures of achievement (as replacement for the only workable butnot perfect system of “PEER REVIEW”), these numbers have taken on god-likestatus and materially determine the reputation and financial well-being of ascholar. Given such incentive, it is understandable that people will useillegal and/or legal but unethical means to boost their quantitative measures. Plagiarizingpapers and falsifying data in experiments are well known deviant behaviors. However,using legally permissible but rather unsavory means for the sole purpose of improvingthe impact factor of a journal and the H-index of a person were news to me. TheMarch 2011 issue of the Notices of the American Mathematic Society carried adetail report about how one person were able to do these feats and createincredible high impact factors that are way higher than the best journals inthe world and H-index surpassing many Nobel prize winners. The report isattached here (I thank Professor Ron Chen of the City University of Hong Kongfor bringing this to my attention.)
Fornew readers and those who request to be “ 好友 good friends” please read my 公告 栏 first. ScienceNet readers have heard me talk about T. Freidman, the NYTimes columnist whom Irecommend. Now I wish to recommend another columnist Fareed Zakaria on TIMEmagazine and on CNN. In a way, I am even more tuned-in to Zakaria since he andI have similar backgrounds – we are both immigrants who left home (he fromIndia and I from China) when young to come to the US for study in undergraduatecolleges, we both choose to remain in the US, become citizens by choice, and recevied our ph.d from Harvard. Inthis sense we have viewpoints that are bi-cultural and perhaps moreinternational and less nationalistic. Thelatest book by Zakaria, The Post-AmericanWorld release 2.0, is a most enjoyable read. In it, Zakaria talk about thethree waves of human developments. First the Renaissance and the rise ofEuropean power; the second, the American century; and now the Rise of the Rest,in particular China and India. There is also a fasinating and rather fair comparison of China and India. Inscience and technology, there are people who make and discover major advances,and there are popularizers who make complex ST understandable to thepublic. Both are important contributors. Similarly in world affairs, there arestatesman and leaders who make history, and there are commentators who make thecomplex world understandable to us. Friedman and Zakaria, in my opinion, arethe best of this genre. They command data and statistics, synthesize disparateand related facts, and weave a viewpoint of the world not often seen orappreciated by common folks. Idon’t know to what extent TIME and CNN are available in China. But I am surethe above mentioned book is not censored. It is definitely worth reading.
Fornew readers and those who request to be “ 好友 good friends” please read my 公告 栏 first. Boston,because of its high concentration of institutions of higher learning (80+college and universities) and her position in American history, carries thenickname of “the hub of the US”. Professionalsports are big business in the US. Major daily newspapers have special section ofthe paper and the radio-TV stations have regular programs each day devoted tothe local and national sport teams. “ SportsIllustrated ” is a well known weekly nation-wide magazine specializing insport reporting. Sports fans in the US are fanatics in their life long devotionto teams from their home town even though they may now live thousands of milesaway. The four major sports that are the year round features of all US TVstations are, American Football, Baseball,Basketball and Hockey . Boston has all four types of professional teamswhich in their long history have won all kinds of championships. Many sportslegends from these teams and the players have become part of the national lores and fabricsof America. Because of this crowding, the other world sport, soccer, never canquite gain the same popularity in the US. Duringthe past decade, the four Boston teams have all again won national and arguablyworld championships in Football (twice), Baseball (twice after a drought of 86years), Basketball, and Hockey (last night after 39 years). Thus, the citydeservedly may call herself – the hub of the sports world http://hubbub.wbur.org/2011/06/16/bostons-decade-of-dominance . The feeling of euphoriafor a citizens of Boston last night were an emotional high. A city wide paradeis scheduled for Saturday (6/18) to honor the winning Hockey team, The BostonBruins. Myfavorite viewing sports are baseball and American football. But last night Iwas sitting at the edge of my seat for 3 hours watching the championship hockeygame and cheering for Boston.
