Conclusion

I think that most of the problems mentioned in the GS paper are caused by natural evolutionary aspects of the discipline. It cannot be doubted that BIS is growing into a more and more professional research discipline. There are indeed problems of quality and of the fact that researchers have different origins. The first problem is evoluating in the right direction and the second one should be considered as an enrichment rather than as a negative fact. One must admit, nevertheless, that different subdisciplines will tend to live their own life, but that continuing contacts (such as joint conferences) remain important and are necessary for the further development of all these subdisciplines.
