Abstract
The ISI ® Journal Citation Reports (JCR ® Journal Citation Reports (ICR ® ) impact factor has moved in recent years form an obscure biblimetric indicator to become the chief quantitative measure of the quality of journal, its research papers, the researchers who wrote those papers, and even the institution they work in. This pamphlet looks at the limitation of the impact factor, how it can and how it should not be used.
