Notes ISI publish Impact Factor information in the Journal Citation Reports, part of the

Science Citation Index. C. Neylon and S. Wu: Article-Level Metrics and the Evolution of Scientific Impact, PLoS

Biology 7(11), 2009. Editorial in PLoS Medicine 3(6): The Impact Factor Game: It is time to find a better

way to assess the scientific literature Editorial in BMC Bioinformatics 5(93): Delayed impact: ISI's citation tracking choices

are keeping scientists in the darkIncludes links to resources and articles on the impact factor.Includes a list of impact factors of selected journals, 2003.

Opinion in Nature 415(6868): Errors in citation statisticsA curious absence from a list of 'hot papers' has led Nature to uncover some inaccuracies in the citation statistics compiled by the ISI. This adds to worries about relying heavily on these figures when rating scientific performance.
