The conclusion section is superb.

20 years of bibliometric data illustrates a lack of concordance between journal impact factor and fungal species discovery in systematic mycology
Not a good look for MDPI and Frontiers: a new preprint finds clear signs of self-citation having boosted their journals' Impact Factors.

What's wrong with this picture? "To diversify academic publishing, strategies should focus on improving the #ImpactFactor of Global #South journals."

Die großen Verlage behaupten ihre Position. Eine große Rolle spielt dabei der Journal Impact Factor (JIP). Er ist insbes. in den Naturwissenschaften eine zentrale Orientierungsgröße bei der Entscheidung, wo man einen Artikel einreicht.
Beim #JournalImpactFactor ist der Zhg. von Zitationen & Qualität fraglich: A. Wakefield stellte einen Zhg. zw. einer Impfung & Autismus her. Die Studie war gefälscht, W. verlor seine Zulassung als Arzt. Die Arbeit wird häufig zitiert – als Negativbeispielt.
Just re-read the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment and it is interesting how much good points it makes – and, at the same time, how much it still clings to concepts of metric assessments of #research quality and #impact, just wanting it to be more precise and personalized. Wouldn’t it be time to go a step further than just putting journal impacts in question? #JournalImpactFactor

Or at least that's my plain-language summary of a pretty opaque press release.
Note that Clarivate owns or controls the #WebOfScience, #JournalImpactFactor (#JIF) data, #Publons, #EndNote, #ScholarOne, and #ProQuest.
testing testing (just to see how it handles slashes)...
