Bibliometric denialism

Description

"Bibliometric denialism", a growing trend rejecting the use of bibliometric indicators in research evaluation, is becoming more prevalent. Stemming from misinterpretations of the DORA declaration, this movement encourages evaluation via qualitative measures only, neglecting the supportive role of bibliometrics. We advocate for a balanced approach, acknowledging the merits and drawbacks of both qualitative and quantitative methods in scientific evaluation.
