Abstract
A dominant in modern science reward and ranking system is highly subjective and inaccurate. Auxiliary to it are two semi-objective methodologies, which in some way attribute certain numerical value to the individual rank of scientists, based on the number of publications and/or the citation index and its derivatives. Those two approaches have many known drawbacks and are therefore often considered as impractical and useless. In this essay a third semi-objective, potentially more precise system is suggested. In essence it assigns a numerical value to the rank which is derived from the all known information about novel, nonobvious, and proven useful ideas that personally brought forward by a scientist. Scientists will submit their personal summaries and assessments of their ideas and uses to an open Internet portal-agency. From this information scientist, themselves or with help of an agency, will calculate the applicant’s rank or/and creativity index. Colleagues will only be asked to provide refuting evidence if there are some discrepancies or incorrect statements in the application without verifying it.
