Zusammenfassung

Rankings create, at best, only a snapshot impression of the importance of specific research results within a discipline (see e.g. the currently most popular ranking based on journal impact factors, offered by Thomson Reuters). Rankings do not help to evaluate to what extent the respective research results contribute to scientific progress. They tend to impede progress of science rather than to advance it. This paper discusses (if and) how science progresses and whether it is generally possible to evaluate scientific progress. We discuss different concepts of scientific progress and elaborate the hypothesis that the creation of disciplines and subdisciplines – a process that is frequently driven by invisible colleges – significantly contributes to scientific progress. Our paper identifies prerequisites for a successful development of an invisible college towards a (sub-)discipline that have to be taken into account in attempts to develop indicators for scientific progress.
