Bodo Stern at #HHMI is spot on in his assessment of the decision by #WebOfScience to stop indexing @eLife articles: "Rather than helping move scholarly communication forward, Web of Science, by punishing a leader in the field, is in fact holding it back."

How the Web of Science takes a step back
www.coalition-s.orgThe Web of Science, a major commercial indexing service of scientific journals operated by Clarivate, recently decided to remove eLife from its Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).

in reply to Ludo Waltman • • •"Web of Science de-listed eLife because the new publishing model can result in the publication of studies with 'inadequate' or 'incomplete' evidence ...
other journals, which use the traditional and confidential peer review model, remain indexed in the Web of Science even though some of the articles they publish also have inadequate or incomplete evidence. The difference is that they do not label these articles as such."
