- 5. That’s not how science and even academic life works. There’s a new punch line (though not a great fan of either one) 5
- 6. There’s nothing wrong with being visible Besides the new punch line there is also a ‘new’ form of research > In any event: it has been given a name and attention 6
- 7. Buzzwords are impact and altmetrics there’s more to research output than pubs patents New tools and websites fill the void 7
