Non sarebbe meglio concentrare i propri sforzi sul lungo periodo
e, quindi, sulla costruzione di una base di dati che raccolga
l’intera produzione scientifica delle aree
umanistiche italiane? Certamente un progetto complesso e costoso,
ma prima o poi bisognera' cominciare a rifletterci seriamente.

Se non ricordo male era una delle proposte fatte dall'universita'
di Leiden dal Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) da <b><span
style="font-weight: bold;">Henk F. Moed</span></b>, durante la
conferenza di ElPUB che si e' tenuta a Milano nel 2009
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://conferences.aepic.it/index.php/elpub/elpub2009/schedConf/program">http://conferences.aepic.it/index.php/elpub/elpub2009/schedConf/program</a>).
Non so se la cosa stia andata avanti credo che comunque alcuni
aggregatori interessati ad entrare nel mondo delle citazioni e
coprire dell'aree finora non coperte per diverse ragioni da ISI Web
of Science e neppure da SCOPUS ci stiano pensando.<br>
<br>
Intanto vi inoltro questa notizia apparsa sul sito di SURF a
proposito di questo test di qualita' sulle riviste open access
sviluppato appunto da CWTS e dalle universita' di Amsterdam e
Tilburg.<br>

October 2012, the indicators will be assessed by a forum of
international experts, made up of representatives of research
funding bodies, the editors-in-chief of academic journals and
publishers. The measure will be established on the basis of
their opinion and then released. Publishers will then be able
to indicate the “score” that their journals have achieved. The
research funders can point the researchers to the score and
thereby encourage them to publish in open access. It will also
assist authors when deciding which journal to publish in. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
