The citation impact factor: Another dubious index of journal quality
M. Boor. American Psychologist, 37 (8):
975-977(1982)
Abstract
Maintains that there is little or no evidence that citation frequencies are useful for evaluating psychologists other than to identify those whose names are household words in the discipline. It is also stressed that the citation impact factor penalizes journals that publish articles that are not cited: The journal's impact factor is likely to be reduced by its publication of articles that do not conform to current customs, fads, and fashions.
