In a recent letter, Carlos Vilchez-Roman criticizes Bornmann et al. (2015)
for using data which cannot be reproduced without access to an in-house version
of the Web-of-Science (WoS) at the Max Planck Digital Libraries (MPDL, Munich).
We agree with the norm of replicability and therefore returned to our data. Is
the problem only a practical one of automation or does the in-house processing
add analytical value to the data? Is the newly emerging situation in any sense
different from a further professionalization of the field? In our opinion, a
political economy of science indicators has in the meantime emerged with a
competitive dynamic that affects the intellectual organization of the field.
