24. Journal Impact Factor
In the early 1960’s Irving H. Sher and Eugene Garfield
created the Journal Impact Factor to help select journals
for Science Citation Index (SCI).
They knew that a core group of highly cited large journals
needed to be covered in SCI, but they also wanted to
include the small, but important review journals which
would not be included if they relied only on publication or
citation counts.
Created the Journal Impact Factor

25. Journal Impact Factor
Formula
The Journal Impact Factor reflects the average number of
citations to recent articles published in that journal. It’s one
measure of the relative importance of a journal within its field.
High impact factor ~ more important
A = the number of times articles published in 2012 and 2013
were cited by indexed journals during 2014.
B = the total number of "citable items" published in 2012 and
2013.
A/B = 2014 impact factor

26. In Other Words
The impact factor is a measure
reflecting the average number of
citations to articles published in
science and social science journals.

27. How to Identify High Impact journals
in your field:
JCR - Journal
Citation Reports
from Thomson's
InCites/
Web of Science

30. Balancing impact factor…
Other considerations:
• Eigenfactor score
• Alternative metrics
• Other Rankings
• Other rankings

31. Eigenfactor
• Developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of
Washington
• Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with
citations from highly-ranked journals weighted to make a larger
contribution to the Eigenfactor than those from poorly-ranked journals.
• Eigenfactor score scales with the size of a journal.
• To allow per-article comparisons using the Eigenfactor approach, the
Article Influence score scales Eigenfactor score by the number of
articles published by the journal and thus is directly comparable to
impact factor.
 For more information, go to :
http://Eigenfactor.org

32. H Factor or H Index
• Index that attempts to measure both the productivity
and impact of the published work of a scientist or
scholar.
• A scholar with an index of h has published h papers
each of which has been cited by others at least h
times.
• Serves as an alternative to more traditional journal
impact factor metrics in the evaluation of the impact
of the work of a particular researcher
• Video Tutorial can be found at

33. Manuscript Matching Tools
• Jane (Journal/Author Name Estimator) -
compare your document to documents in
Medline to find the best matching journals,
authors or articles.
• Edanz Journal Selector
• Endnote – Manuscript Matcher
• Elsevier Journal Finder – (publisher specific)
• Springer Journal Selector – (publisher
specific
