Abstract

This paper proposes a new version of impact factor. The proposed version penalizes JCR IF by journal self-citations. The penalized IF was experimented on 26 journals from Thomson Scientific JCR for 2013 and compared with the JCR IF. For these journals rank correlation between penalized IF and JCR IF is equal to 0.63.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • JIF values can be artificially inflated by pressuring authors to reference articles from a particular journal, as journal self-citations are not accounted for in the calculation of classical and five-year JIF.

    “JIF values can also be artificially inflated by other means, for example, by pressuring authors to reference articles from particular journal, as journal self-citations are not accounted for in the calculation of classical and five-year JIF [224,225,230].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
