RAE new metrics are just
a 'piece of somnambulism'
HEFCE's Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) has come under fire. OA champion Stevan Harnad said plans for conversion to new metrics are flawed. He accused the RAE of an "anachronistic piece of somnambulism" in requiring a publisher's CD of its PDF, instead of asking for deposit of the authors' papers in their own institutional repository.
"The good news is that there is still time to fully remedy these issues, if only policymakers would take a moment to listen, think it through, and do the little that needs to be done to fix it," said Harnad.
"It is a good idea to have a national research performance evaluation to monitor and reward research productivity and progress.
"It is also a good idea to convert the costly, time-consuming, wasteful and potentially biased panel-based RAE of past years to an efficient, unbiased metric RAE, using objective measures that can be submitted automatically online," he said.
