overemphasis on highly cited papers

How Can Institutions and Funding Agencies Contribute?

Institutions and funding agencies play a crucial role in shaping research priorities. By recognizing and rewarding a broader range of scientific contributions, they can mitigate the negative effects of overemphasizing citation counts. For instance, funding agencies can prioritize grants for high-risk, high-reward projects that might not immediately yield highly cited papers but have the potential to make significant advancements in the field.
