It seems like not enough weight is given to the quality of the articles - there should be several ways to determine this. In the article it mentions the "impact factor" of a journal that an article is published in, but this seems limited. Perhaps a better way would be the number of times it is cited (within a certain timespan) with bonuses the more it is cited.
