How journals are rated?
“ The most popular index is Journal Impact Factor (JIF) ”
Let’s talk a bit about JIF
ISI Journal Citation Reports
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_impact_factor
- JIF indicate how good the journal is- The higher JIF the better (exponentially better!)- Roughly the JIF value is the number of time an average article in the journal get cited per year- Cannot compare JIF between journal from different fields!- Of course, the higher the JIF, the more difficult to publish in that journal- Getting accepted in high JIF journal does not necessarily mean the work is good
How to rate an individual article?“ A quick way (but not the best) is looking at
the journal the article published in. ”
“ A better way is checking how many times the article is cited by others. ”
However, this takes time. The article has to be published at least two years.
How to
check?The most accurate resource is an international
database such as “Sci. Citation Index”.
“ http://scholar.google.com ”
In complete, but free!
How to rate a person publication record
“ Again, a quick way is by looking at the journal the articles are published in.
(some time the avg. JIF is used)”
“ A better way is by looking at the lifetime citation record. Recently, another simple yet
effective way is invented Hirsch’s h-index.”
Publish or Perish
Hirsch’s index (h-index)Hirsch writes:
“A scientist has index h if h of his Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other
(Np - h) papers have at most h citations each.”
“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirsch_number ”
Hirsch’s index (h-index)
- Find the journal that the specific topic of your work are generally published- Compare your work with average work published in the journal
Read, read, and read!

Know the quality of your own work!
Tactics
- Prepare a neat and error-free manuscript.- Draw clear with full detailed figures (show that you are dedicated).- Let friends read the manuscript and take comments for revising before submission.- Prepare an easy to read and (a little bit overselling) justification paragraph.- When reply to the referees, use professional and as polite as possible language.- Try to comply as much as possible with the comments.
