More DescriptionThis second volume of the Scientometrics Guidebooks Series is dedicated to the impact factor perhaps one of the most used but also the most debated indicator in use for the evaluation of scientific research. For being a true and useful Guidebook, the selection of the content papers had to be done in the possibly wisest way. After many iteration a final list was created and has been ordered along the following chapters: Basic concepts and general issues; Using, improving, extending and also modifying the impact factor; Critical issues. The content is hoped to represent the best available compendium for helping readers in the best way for investigations and decisions on evaluations at individual and departmental level.
