N...They couldn't have ignored PLoS ONE anymore. Not only because PLoS ONE has received over 25,000 citations so far, but because the >8,500 articles in PLoS ONE cites other "top" journals too. Now it's for their benefit that PLoS ONE is indexed so that they get more "impact points."<br /><br />I know it's a classical and old question, but I still wonder why ISI doesn't count Reviews and Perspectives but counts their citations. This boosts the IF of journals like Science and Nature (which have a perspective article describing--and citing--every other research article).<br />PLoS ONE, with almost no reviews (only two or three collections intros) is collecting an average of 3.5 citations per article now. Very impressive!Ramy K. Azizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680735838304209914noreply@blogger.com
