Kennen Ike Antkare you?
This is the crucial issue is currently among researchers in France: Do you know Ike Antkare? No, really? After all, he figures, according to Google searches on the Internet at the ten best-known computer science specialists, and especially with an "h-index" of more than 90, which in professional circles famous indicator of the reputation, the one hundred most cited scientists, far ahead of Albert Einstein. Well, you will rightly say, the inventors of the relativity theory is also dependent long dead, but Ike AntKare (pronounced in English as I can not care what way German "I do not care's") means there is much further: he has never even lived!
The supposedly prominent researchers is a completely virtual figure, which the real life has Cyril Labbé, a computer science specialist and lecturer at the University of Grenoble created specifically for the susceptibility to error and absurdity to prove the criteria to establish that h-index scale. Who has the alleged thesis of Ike AntKare with the absurd-sounding title "Construire l'e-business en utilisant modalités of psycho-acoustique"? Probably no one. But that is not important, it is sufficient cited as often as possible in other scientific articles on. Labbé produced his claims to be a model for a text generator with a hundred items at first Scientific view like films, all of which he published on his website under the author's name Ike AntKare, and above all against each other frequently cited. The rest was then the database and search engine Google Scholar, the scientific work and requires the quantitative calculation of their "bibliometrics" with the h-index is used.
It covers, however, as Cyril Labbé treggend amusing experiment demonstrates not only real scientific contributions, but also what the somewhat similar and even mentions on a Power Point presentation. That's all not so tragic if this h-index does not include as the basis of nominations and promotions dienen würde. Und genau das ärgert Labbé.
Selbst nachdem Ike Antkare von seinem Erfinder längst demaskiert wurde, führt er übrigens – wie eine Recherche mit Google Scholar ergibt – seine scheinwissenschaftliche Pseudoexistenz munter weiter. Der h-Index dieses virtuellen Spitzenreiters ist sogar auf den fast nobelpreisverdächtigen Wert von 96 gestiegen. Wer ehrlich ist und zugibt, ihn nicht gekannt oder gar gelesen zu haben, kommt fein raus.
