What will the keepers of this index say to the social justice criticism that it's unfair to track this metric because it discriminates against women and minorities who don't get chances to publish as much?
- hprotagonist 6y agoGoodhart's law is eternal.
- tensor 6y agoI'd say it's a good way to measure discrimination, among other uses. If the average h-index for a given group is significantly lower than other groups, it could indicate a discrimination problem. Ceasing to measure the problem won't make it go away.
- crx07 6y agoThey'd probably say that this metric is descriptive, not prescriptive.
