Citations, self-citations, and citation stacking
We have covered the diverse range of citation metrics in previous
posts and although their number continues to grow, the Impact Factor is
still the most important. Despite increasing concerns about how the
Impact Factor is being used, far beyond its main purpose to evaluate
citation profiles of journals, it is a key metric on which authors
choose journals and often editors want to ensure theirs is as high as
possible.

Author-level metrics and the H-Index
In a previous post I wrote about journal-level citation metrics.
This post will discuss the rise of article- and author-level metrics.
As tools such as Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar have
become more widely accessible, it has become much easier to create
metrics at the article level.…

New journal citation metric – Impact per Publication
From summer 2014, Scopus and the Centre for Science and Technology
Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University will be publishing a new
journal-level metric called Impact per Publication (IPP). This metric is
similar to Thomson Reuters’ journal Impact Factor (IF), but there are
several key differences.

Citations and the Impact Factor
What are Impact Factors?
Impact Factors give the average number of citations received by
articles in a particular journal; essentially, the average number of
times that articles in a particular journal are referenced by other
articles.
The Impact Factors, published annually in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), are defined as follows:
Number of citations (references) received in the Impact Factor year
to articles published in the two previous years, divided by the number
of articles published in these two years.…

CrossMark: Keeping Readers Up to Date
In his analysis of 742 retractions from PubMed, R.G. Steen
observed that not only have the number of retractions over the past
decade increased in proportion to the number of articles published, but
also “journals often fail to alert the naive reader; 31.8% of retracted
papers were not noted in any way”.1
Of course most journals do their utmost to publicise retractions and
corrections, issuing notices in subsequent issues and amending web pages
to alert readers, but even this does not seem to be enough.…

New Journal Metrics Make an Impact
For many years people have been proposing and publishing potential
alternatives to the Thomson Reuters Two-Year Impact Factor. Up until now
most have lingered in relative obscurity but some are now starting to
make an impact.
