7The perception of these practices has varied over time. For example, before the digital age, when it could be much more difficult than it is today to locate literature on a particular topic, it was in many fields seen as a legitimate practice to publish the same result in similar forms for different audiences. Today, this may still be legitimate, but there has been an increased focus on the importance of making such duplications transparent through appropriate cross-referencing. 8For an overview of the many different measures that have been proposed in reaction to the H-index, see, e.g., Garner et al. (2018); Bornmann, Mutz, and Daniel (2008); Harzing (2016); Bornmann et al. (2011). 9Several attempts have been made to provide journal rankings that can adequately include journals in the humanities and social sciences, including the European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH). However, the validity and reliability of this categorization of journals have been questioned (Adler and Harzing 2009), and a large number of journals in the history of science protested against the ERIH ranking when it was first introduced (Andersen 2009). On a national scale, similar attempts at ranking journals into two or three tiers have been made in Norway and Denmark, but a comparison between the categorizations made in the two systems reveals substantial differences in how individual journals are categorized.
