I assume uploading to arXiv doesn't count as having published a peer reviewed journal article, which is a problem for professionals. For example, for me to progress in my current job I either need a doctorate or to have published a number of peer-reviewed articles in recognised journals as first author. I have written two IETF RFCs and these count for nothing. I am not a scientist, I am a software developer. I am not employed as a scientist, I am employed as a software developer. But the rules of the organisation are thus. | ||

It's a badge mostly for instutitional bean-counting processes. Fellow scientists don't need it that much, typically we can separate the wheat from the chaff with a very quick skim. | ||

> which is a problem for professionals dont worry, leadership will find another metric to turn into a target, after the old metric has stopped working for a decade or two. | ||
