Research papers from all over the world are published in thousands of science journals every year. The quality of these papers clearly has to be evaluated, not only to determine their accuracy and contribution to fields of research, but also to help make informed decisions about rewarding scientists with funding and appointments to research positions. The citation-based metric or impact analysis is meant to rank scientific journals, but there have been numerous criticisms over the years of its use as a measure of the quality of individual research papers. A number of Higher education institutions are using bibliometrics based on journal impact factors to rank universities and research institutions which appear to create pressure among social sciences and humanities researchers. The researchers argue that the prevailing system of impact factor is deeply flawed. The transformation of the academic journal and modelling the creation of new knowledge systems are indeed apt and timely. This paper proposes type of renewal that Higher Education and academic knowledge s- stems require in order to improve their quality, effectiveness and value as an integral part of the research and knowledge building infrastructure of a peculiarly knowledge society.
