- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the impact factor rankings. He explains that an impact factor measures the significance of a given journal in a given field and is reported yearly by Thomson's ISI Web of Knowledge. He comments on Richard Smith's article, which finds fault with the rankings, and suggests that it can result to a journal that is cited more, but less readable. He cited that "JOM" journal is included in Thomson's four categories including Mining and Mineral Processing.
