Was ist der Impact-Faktor?
Der Impact-Faktor (IF) wird häufig als Indikator für die Bedeutung eines Journals für sein Fachgebiet verwendet. Es wurde erstmals von Eugene Garfield, dem Gründer des Instituts für wissenschaftliche Information, vorgestellt. Obwohl IF von Institutionen und Klinikern weit verbreitet ist, haben die Menschen ein weit verbreitetes Missverständnis hinsichtlich der Methode zur Berechnung des IF der Zeitschrift, seiner Bedeutung und seiner Verwendung. Das IF einer Zeitschrift hängt nicht mit Faktoren wie der Qualität des Peer-Review-Prozesses und der Qualität des Inhalts der Zeitschrift zusammen, sondern ist ein Maß, das die durchschnittliche Anzahl von Zitaten zu Artikeln widerspiegelt, die in Zeitschriften, Büchern, Abschlussarbeiten, Projektberichten und Zeitungen veröffentlicht wurden , Konferenz- / Seminarberichte, im Internet veröffentlichte Dokumente, Notizen und andere genehmigte Dokumente.
Der Impact-Faktor wird üblicherweise verwendet, um die relative Bedeutung einer Zeitschrift in ihrem Bereich zu bewerten und die Häufigkeit zu messen, mit der der „durchschnittliche Artikel“ in einer Zeitschrift in einem bestimmten Zeitraum zitiert wurde. Eine Zeitschrift, die mehr Übersichtsartikel veröffentlicht, erhält die höchsten IFs. Zeitschriften mit höheren IFs wurden als wichtiger angesehen als Zeitschriften mit niedrigeren. Laut Eugene Garfield „spiegelt die Wirkung lediglich die Fähigkeit der Zeitschriften und Herausgeber wider, das beste verfügbare Papier anzuziehen.“ Eine Zeitschrift, die mehr Übersichtsartikel veröffentlicht, erhält maximale IFs.
What is Impact Factor?
The impact factor (IF) is frequently used as an indicator of the importance of a journal to its field. It was first introduced by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. Although IF is widely used by institutions and clinicians, people have widespread misconception regarding the method for calculating the journal IF, its significance and how it can be utilized. The IF of a journal is not associated to the factors like quality of peer review process and quality of content of the journal, but is a measure that reflects the average number of citations to articles published in journals, books, thesis, project reports, newspapers, conference/seminar proceedings, documents published in internet, notes, and any other approved documents.
Impact factor is commonly used to evaluate the relative importance of a journal within its field and to measure the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular time period. Journal which publishes more review articles will get highest IFs. Journals with higher IFs believed to be more important than those with lower ones. According to Eugene Garfield “impact simply reflects the ability of the journals and editors to attract the best paper available.” Journal which publishes more review articles will get maximum IFs.
