Comment on Article-Level Metrics: An Ill-Conceived and Meretricious Idea by Ron Davis

Dear Beall, congratulations!
You are doing a fantastic job as to castigate the things is a very good and easy job. I would like to point out, that rather saying don’t do this, you should offer a solution to this so-called crisis, as i don’t believe any crisis in publication industry. This is the era of internet, people are educated and civil, they know who is right and who is wrong. If a rational author publish in a under grade journal, he would never publish again in that, off course. As far as Thomson Reuters is considered, i believe that market monopoly pushes economy into hell. So, Scopus, google metrics etc are doing good towards the development. One thing more, have you ever criticized the Thomson Reuters Money Gambling portfolio known as Reuters. You should direct your attention toward better ideas to bless the nation.
