[csaa-forum] removal of journal ranking system

[Jon Stratton]

  Hi Rob,
     Yes, I too very much want to know about this new measure.  Nobody I have spoken with knows what the reference to a 'journal quality profile' means.  If anybody on this List does, please can you elaborate?
thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the link.  I guess it sounds good but I'm wondering about
the replacement for journal rankings.

Does anyone have an insight into what "the introduction of a journal
quality profile, showing the most frequently published journals for
each unit of evaluation" means?

Cheers,
Rob.
