Comment on New OA Publisher: the Council for Innovative Research by Bill White

There is incomprehensible fixation on the impact factor insomuch I am wondering which kind of Scientists we have!
If scientists are not able to distinguish and recognize the flaws of the impact factor, how ordinary people could trust what “scientists” tell them?
I see that a lot of the so-called scientists are obsessed by the idea of the impact factor! I would say that there is a sickness that should be called “The impact factor addiction”!
It is incredible to which extent some people are focused on distorted measure! It is not surprising that science is going bad with such superficial behaviors from people, which are supposed to be objective and rigorous.
how can I trust a scientist who sees in the “impact factor” a measure of quality? Such “scientists” do not deserve to be called as “scientists”.
What amazing and crazy this obsession with the impact factor!
Illness!
