On the impact factor<br />
• Impact factor measures the average number of citations to an<br />
article (or a collection of articles)<br />
• Typically, a higher impact factor can be achieved when publishing<br />
in journals&conferences with high impact factor. Of course, the<br />
main criterion remains the quality, timeliness and clarity of your<br />
published work<br />
• Some tools to count the impact factor:<br />
• http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm: ” Publish or Perish” free software<br />
that retrieves and analyzes academic citations (e.g., impact factor,<br />
citations per year, etc); based on Google engine (self-citations are<br />
also counted)<br />
• www.isiknowledge.com: ISI citation index<br />
• Why it’s important?<br />
• Own ‘pride’: feeling good when your work is cited by the others<br />
• Project fundings are more and more dependent on this (e.g., EU<br />
projects)<br />
• Reviewers may consider your impact factor in their evaluation
