[Publisher-in-Chief]
There is an amusing historical story in academia about an unsuccessful candidate for a faculty position. It might serve as an object lesson for us all at the Medical Executive-Post.
The History
After faculty appointment interviews, the exhausted chairman of a prestigious university’s search committee quipped, “What his résumé lacked was five bad papers.”
The Rationale
By that, he meant that while the candidate had published several peer-reviewed papers containing enough genuinely important ideas to satisfy any rational hiring committee — more than could be said of most faculty members — he had too few to satisfy the bean counters, who fretted about how uninformed outsiders might react to the appointment.
Assessment
Researchers have responded as expected to these incentives. But, the additional papers they’ve written often have added little value. In other words, quality trumps quantity, even in the blog-o-sphere. So, please reference and cite us, comment about us, recommend us and use us – but don’t abuse us! Oh! We are copyrighted, too. We are – what we are – and proud of it.
Conclusion
In fact, the economist Philip Cook and Austin Frakt PhD, over at the Incidental Economist, found that in the first five years after publication, many fewer than half of all papers in the two most selective economics journals had ever been cited by other scholars.
So remember, at the ME-P, we are not peer reviewed. However, we are important, helpful, focused, crowdsourced, valuable and growing!
