Comment on Dead Metrics by David Stern (@sterndavidi)

We are using SNIP as the preferred impact factor at my school as it is comparable across disciplines. We are now moving towards SJR as it has become more reliable, as a recursive index is a better measure of importance. My WoS H-index is 24, Scopus, 26, and GS, 39. The GS one is for sure inflated a bit by the noise in the GS database. I really don’t know why you say these are dead metrics just because librarians don’t use them that much.
