- W2177667070 abstract "Researchers and practitioners alike now generally agree that research is a business in and of itself (Freshwater, 2012; Freshwater & Fisher, 2014). More explicitly, as a business, it is intimately linked with achieving excellence that leads to knowledge production. Knowledge production, in turn, is an entrepreneurial activity and one that is now explicitly aligned with the economy of many Western countries (see, e.g., Knowledge Society and the University of Western Australia, 2015; Universities UK, 2014). It is, in essence, both a marker of quality and excellence of the outcomes of research and innovation (knowledge generation), and a means of generating international impact through knowledge production and translation. In addition, estimations of research excellence and international research assessment exercises are becoming increasingly refined, as they endeavor to delineate research excellence through peer review of the international reach, significance, and most recently, the translation and impact of ‘‘world class’’ research (Hare, 2015; Higher Education Funding Council for England, 2014). Research exercises are primarily driven by metric measures of research performance, with indicators of excellence being determined at local, national, and international levels. Measures include research outputs (including, of course, publications in impact factored journals), numbers of postgraduate student completions, and levels of research council income. Other measures refer to the research environment and evaluations of esteem. Let us focus more intensely on the matter of research outputs, citation indices, and impact factors. In 2012, early in my term of office, I wrote about the development of impact measures in research and this with regard to quality thresholds. I also referred to the contested ground of journal impact factors, an inevitable measure of quality and esteem (Freshwater & Cahill, 2012). In this, my final editorial, after serving as co-editor of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) for a term of 4 years, the current team is pleased to announce that the impact factor for JMMR, in 2014, has increased to 2.186, from 1.675 in 2013. This has had the subsequent result of moving the JMMR up the rankings from 9/92 in Social Sciences (Interdisciplinary), to 7/95 in that same category. This is an important measure of not only the quality of the articles published in JMMR, but as importantly, a signal of the diligence, efforts, and high-level assessment of quality, by our reviewers, the associate editors, and the editors. I will say more about the role of editors shortly, for now let me turn to the notion of metrification, and the use of what I have referred to this in journal of algorithmic, or calculative, thinking (Freshwater, 2015). Heidegger once commented that calculative thinking might someday come to be the only way of thinking (Goleman, 2014). The capacity to sustain attention to an ongoing narrative is increasingly becoming the subject of much social science literature. Goleman (2014) writes of the tyranny of continuous partial attention, driven by the disruptive, and some would argue" @default.
