Introduction Vanclay's otherwise splendid article ( 2011 ) fails to discuss one other important issue that contributes to the weaknesses in the calculations of the journal impact factor. And this issue concerns the measurement

Introduction The journal impact factor, also generically named the Garfield Index and in its ISI/Thomson Reuters form as TRIF by Vanclay ( 2012 ), should ideally serve several purposes to the scientific community. It should
Introduction Increasing scrutiny of the Thomson Reuters journal impact factor casts some doubt on its claim of a “ systematic, objective means to critically evaluate the world's leading journals, with quantifiable, statistical
Vanclay's analysis of the standard impact factor In his article Vanclay ( 2012 ) provides a review of issues related to the so-called Garfield-Sher (or ISI) journal impact factor. He claims that the impact factor (in short: IF
Introduction In contemporary research and scholarly environments, few inventions have influenced medical publishing as much as journal impact factors (Brown 2007 ). Increasing attention is now being focussed on this particular
Introduction The representativeness of the ISI-Thomson Impact Factor rankings, mainly dominated by publications in English, is a subject that has attracted special interest in Central and South American countries, as well as
Introduction Is the impact factor (IF) the best measure of the scientific quality? Or maybe, on the contrary, an obsolete measure of the citations to journals which is erroneously utilized for nearly everything related to the
Abstract
Many aspects determine the quality of scientific journals. The impact factor is one of these quantitative parameters. However, the impact factor has a strong dependence on the journal discipline. This dependence forbids a direct comparison between different journals without introducing external considerations. In this paper, a renormalized impact factor, Fr, inspired in the definition of dimensionless physical parameters, is proposed. Fr allows a direct comparison among journals classified into different categories and, furthermore, the time evolution analysis of the journal's role in its field.
