In favour of qualitative evaluation

The use of impact factors in the evaluation of researchers has contributed to the distortion of scientific publishing practices and, in turn, of research practices. Alain Schuhl, the CNRS's Deputy CEO for Science (DGDS), explains that "for too long now, research has been trapped by indicators that actually have nothing to do with the intrinsic quality of the scientific advances set out in a publication". The DGDS considers that dictating the rules of the game for the assessment of researchers by defining the prestige and attractiveness of journals is "a reductive view of science that we should no longer be condoning. This means we have to take action now to guarantee the quality and the ethics of the research assessment system".

Nach einer zweifachen Impfung gegen Masern wird grundsätzlich eine lebenslange Immunität angenommen. Auch ein langsames Absinken der IgG-Titer bei Geimpften über die Zeit bedeutet nach dem jetzigen Stand der Wissenschaft kein Nachlassen des Impfschutzes.
