Selected quotations
- The Journal Impact Factor .. was originally created as a tool to help librarians identify journals to purchase, not as a measure of the scientific quality of research in an article.
- Outputs other than research articles will grow in importance in assessing research effectiveness in the future, but the peer-reviewed research paper will remain a central research output that informs research assessment.
- need to assess research on its own merits rather than on the basis of the journal in which the research is published.
