As an editor, I went through a period during which I took journal impact factors seriously enough to write about them:
- Hernán MA. Epidemiologists (of all people) should question journal impact factors. Epidemiology 2008; 19:366-368
- Hernán MA. Impact factor: A call to reason. Epidemiology 2009; 20:317-318 (A correction regarding bibliographic impact factors. Epidemiology 2009; 20:785)
- Hernán MA, Wilcox AJ. We are number one but nobody cares—That’s good. Epidemiology 2012; 23:509
I first thought these pieces would have little impact themselves but, hey, the 5-year impact factor was created a few months after I suggested it, so who knows?
