How to increase the impact factor of a scientific journal?
In this review article, the nature and uncertainties of the impact factor (IF) of scientific journals is discussed. Based on the citations of articles published in a journal during a given number of years, the impact factor has been used for purposes as different as that of evaluating the scientific journal, to helping to evaluate individual scientists, and as a tool for librarians to select journals for their collections. Many factors have been described which can influence the numerical value of the IF. Since the variability of the citation patterns in various scientific disciplines varies very much, caution is advised when using the IF for interdisciplinary comparisons or evaluations. As for the attempts to increase the IF, the opinion of the author is that the increase in quality of a scientific journal is the only true way for increasing the IF.
