Abstract
Journal impact factors (JIFs) as determined by the Institute for Scientific and Technological Information of China (ISTIC) of forty-two Chinese engineering journals were compared with external Web link counts, obtained from Lycos, and Web Impact Factors (WIFs) of corresponding journal Web sites to determine if any significant correlation existed between them. The results showed that the correlation between the JIF and external link counts was borderline significant or inconclusive while the correlation between the JIF and the WIF was statistically significant.
