PREVIOUS IF VALUES

2000-2006 Harzing Perish or Publish using ISI Thompson formula

Covers period 2000-2006 (Start date, latest data does not include 2007-2009 data as it has not been included in the analysis by Harzing Perish or Publish).
Upon inclusion and analysis of more recent publications, we could reasonably expect a significant increase in the impact factor due to a much greater number of publications during 2007-current (Mar 09)

Cites/paper:      8.67    h-index:                 5               AWCR:      6.09

OJB impact factor calculations based on Thompson ISI calculations and data obtained from Google Scholar.

According to Thomson ISI Journal impact factors were calculated from the formulae:

No. citation in journals latest year divided by number of articles 2 years previous from Online Journal of Bioinformatics.

(A) 27 Citations from other journals 2003 (B) to 7 Online Journal of Bioinformatics  2001 and 2002 articles = impact factor 2003 =  3.85 (2.10 – not using self citations)

(A) 31 Citations from other journals 2002 (B) to 3 Online Journal of Bioinformatics 2000 and 2001 articles = impact factor  2002 =  10.3* (4.86 – not using self citations).

 

*Due to small article sample this last figure to be interpreted with caution. However the few articles were widely cited (see google scholar)

 


Note of caution:
Journal impact factors are affected/biased by variations between disciplines, item by item. The figures quoted here must be interpreted with caution.
Interested persons should read the Thomson essay on impact factors and this link about Harzings Publish or Perish to interpret the data.

Note: only refereed journal article citations were used in the calculations.

Data Source: Google scholar search to +”Online Journal of Bioinformatics” exact wording and quotes must be used
