‘Old’ paradigms
Use of proxy measures of an individual scientist’s merit is as good as it gets
It is a journal’s responsibility to disseminate your work
Printed article is the format of record Other scientists have time to search out
what you want them to know

‘New’ paradigms Rich, deep, broad metrics for measuring
the contributions of individual scientists Effective dissemination of your work is
now in your hands (at last) The digital format will be the format of
record (is already in many areas) Unless you routinely publish in Nature or Science, ‘getting it out there’ is up to you
