The indexing issue isn't described, and it's quite important. For example, my research needs to be published somewhere that's indexed in Thomson Reuters Web of Science or SCOPUS [even though some good journals of my subfield aren't there] - otherwise the results don't count in most practical measurements that determine the evaluation and funding of me and my institute.

Me and my colleagues can't publish in nonindexed (or weakly indexed) public journals, since you won't be able to publish the same research results in a 'good' journal or conference later (it's no longer 'original, unpublished research') - in essence, publishing here would mean throwing away many months of work, since the work itself and its citations will be disregarded.


academia hell, huh?
