Journal Impact measures and how their evolution Culminated in the journalimpact factor (JIF) produced by the Institute for Scientific Information. The paper showshow the various building blocks of the dominant JIF (published in the Journal CitationReport - JCR) came into being. The paper argues that these building blocks were allconstructed fairly arbitrarily or for different purposes than those that govern thecontemporary use of the JIF. The results are a faulty method, widely open tomanipulation by journal editors and misuse by uncritical parties. The discussion examinessome solution offered to the bibliometrics and scientific communities considering thewide use of this indicator at present.

Validation of Journal Impact Metrics of Web of Science and Scopus
Pakistan Journal of Information Management & Libraries, 2016
Khalid Mahmood, Syed Rahmatullah Shah
Citation based metrics are widely used to assess the impact of research published in journals. This paper presents the results of a research study to verify the accuracy of data and calculations of journal impact metrics presented in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus in the case of three journals of information and library science. Data collected from the websites of journals were compared with that of two citation extended databases. The study manually calculated the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and the Impact per Publication (IPP) in accordance with formulas given in the databases. Data were also collected from the Google Scholar to draw a comparison. The study found discrepancies in two sets of data and bibliometric values, i.e., systematic values presented in WoS and Scopus and calculated in this study. Commercial databases presented inflated measures based on fabricated or erroneous data. The study is of practical importance to researchers, universities and research financing bodies that consider these bibliometric indicators as a good tool for measuring performance, assessment, and evaluation of research quality as well as researchers.

A Survey of Impact and Citation Indices: Limitations and Issues
Izzat Alsmadi
Research projects can be evaluated through evaluating the research publications produced through those projects. Research publications are evaluation using impact factors and citation indices. There are several citation indices that are proposed and existed to assess the value of a research publication or the research impact of an author or a journal. In this paper, an extensive survey is conducted to evaluate the majority of the citation indices. Using examples, we demonstrated some of the limitations and problems with ...

Weighted Impact Factor (WIF) for assessing the quality of scientific journals
ArXiv, 2015
Ramiz M Aliguliyev
Nowadays impact factor is the significant indicator for journal evaluation. In impact factor calculation is used number of all citations to journal, regardless of the prestige of cited journals, however, scientific units (paper, researcher, journal or scientific organization) cited by journals with high impact factor or researchers with high Hirsch index are more important than objects cited by journals without impact factor or unknown researcher. In this paper was offered weighted impact factor for getting more accurate rankings for journals, which consider not only quantity of citations, but also quality of citing journals. Correlation coefficients among different indicators for journal evaluation: impact factors by Thomson Scientific, weighted impact factors offered by different researchers, average and medians of all citing journals impact factors and 5-year impact factors were analysed.
