First mentioned the idea of an impact factor in Science in 1955. Garfield E. “Citation indexes to science: a new dimension in documentation through association of ideas” Science 122(3159):108-11 (1955). Source: http://www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/ 20 The Impact Factor – The Formula Impact Factor There is much debate over Impact Factors in the scientific community, particularly with regard to the fairness of the system. However, there is no doubt that the Impact Factor is seen as a benchmark of quality of the journal in many academic communities. Formula: Number of citations in 2017 to articles published in 2015 + 2016 2017 IF = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total citable articles published in 2015 + 2016 Example: 100 + 70 2017 IF = --------------- = 1.700 50 + 50 21 Manuscript Submission: Mistakes to Avoid • Not clear which publishing model to choose (Open Access?) • Submission out of the scope of the journal • Instructions for Authors not followed • Sloppy abstract / manuscript • “Key message” not clear • Weak accompanying cover letter 22 Instructions for Authors 23 Submission: Include your ORCID iD ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, and not-for-profit organization created in 2010.
