- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of measuring content from books and articles as an integral part of academic journal development. It refers to the journal impact factor (JIF) as the primary metric for journal articles in hard sciences in terms of references for other articles. It reveals that a group of concerned scientists has called for reevaluation of the JIF standard in relation to individual research to provide a more heuristic journal influence.
