In reply to Chris Leonard.

Hi Chris, Yes, and I strongly believe that this I the right way to go in the short term. It's why I am spending time working on research evaluation. My point is in the longer term you've got to get beyond simple reward cultures and really embed those values in the community. So for instance when the deposition of PDB structures alongside structure papers was mandated, everyone knew it was the right thing to do but relatively few people were actually doing it. It went through a phase where the mandate (or reward of publication if you prefer) worked but now it unthinkable not to. It's deeply embedded practice. That's whee we ultimately need to a for, and the rewards help us along the way but they are not in and of themselves the endgame.
