IIRC, impact factor was only ever intended as an heuristic for librarians when making marginal decisions over which journals to subscribe to on behalf of their institution. Everything else is but mission creep. All the best, Leon On 23 April 2013 12:38, Phillip Lord

Maybe I should rephrase rating and grading and the term mental narrow focus reflects the fact that scientists and researchers when concentrating on their academic work focus on a small area of all scientific endeavors. There is a subtle difference between mental narrow focus and narrow
