Abstract

During long time academy pondered the productivity of authors as criterion of distinction, but this model seems to be changed to citation impacts. In this short essay review, which is centred in my own experience, we discuss to what an extent the current editorial system is sustainable for the discipline as well as in interests of market to restrict the number of published papers. Nowadays, H-Index which is oft-used as a useful instrument to rank scholars and scientists confers further impact to those scholars who publish few but are highly cited. Readers will see why this model leads to feed editorial monopolies which are ideologically framed to the belief that quality of papers are not associated to their quality but the journal where they are pipelined and published.

Özet

Akademide yazarın üretkenliği bir fark yaratmasıyla ölçülmüştür; ancak son zamanlarda bu model atıfların etki faktörüne doğru evirilmiş gibi görünmektedir. Yazarın kendi tecrübelerinden yola çıkan bu kısa inceleme yazısında mevcut editoryal düzenin ve pazar yararına yayınlanan makale sayısını kısıtlamanın turizm disiplini için ne ölçüde sürdürülebilir olduğu tartışılmaktadır. Şu sıralarda akademisyen ve araştırmacıların sıralanmasında yararlı bir araç olarak az yayın yapan ama çok atıf alan yazarlara ekstradan etki faktörü veren H-Index sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bu yazıyla okuyuculara, mevcut modelin makalelerin kalitesinin içeriğine göre değil, bunun yerine yayınlandığı dergiye göre değerlendirilen ideolojik olarak kalıplaşmış editoryal tekeli nasıl beslediği aktarılmaktadır
