Abstract
- The author discusses the use of metrics by evaluators for the assessment of the value of scientists. The author says that evaluators are turning to metrics, such as h-index and total citation count. The author states the objections by the scientists for the cold quantification of their scientific contribution. The author adds that scientists should continue to look for metrics that can capture the true value of a scientist in various aspects, such as public speaking, teaching, and reviewing.
