I was checking the bibliometric metrics of some colleagues in Switzerland and found that even experienced professors at SUPSI (Professional University in Switzerland) have low bibliometric indices. The indices are the same for an average 1-2-year-old post-doc in Europe.

I was wondering why this happens. I don’t think it’s because they are not good. Instead, I would focus the attention on the evaluation of the productivity in Switzerland. Is there any system in Switzerland that pushes researchers to publish more?

This makes me wonder if any database catalogs the systems for evaluating research around the globe…
