Abstract

In diesem Beitrag werden die Auswirkungen des Journal Impact Faktor und anderer Formen der quantitativen Leistungsmessung auf die Arbeit und die Karrieren des sogenannten wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses aus Sicht desselben beleuchtet. Anhand von Interviews mit 20 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern aus zehn Disziplinen, die mindestens promoviert sind, aber (noch) keine Professur bekleiden, werden drei Thesen entwickelt: (1) Die zunehmende praktische Virulenz der quantitativen Leistungsmessung trägt dazu bei, dass die Wissenschaft mehr und mehr zum „Karrierejob“ wird. (2) Um ihre Chancen auf Erfolg zu wahren, setzen insbesondere die aufstiegsorientierten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler Strategien zur Verbesserung ihres Publikationsoutputs ein. (3) Selbstsicherheit und Routine im Publikationsprozess sind wesentlich von der beruflichen Förderung durch Mentorinnen und Mentoren abhängig.
