Abstract
The Impact Factor (IF) is the mainstay tool in scientific publication. It is a bibliometric tool that has become very popular among academic people. This tool was created by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) to determine the impact of journals among the scientific and medical communities. About 6000 scientific and medical journals are included in this citations measurement by the ISI. The IF is defined as a journal’s number of citations over a period of time, divided by the number of ‘‘citable’’ articles published during the same period of time. Usually, it is based on papers published during the two previous years, dividing the numbers of citations by the number of articles published.
