In the previous article of this series, in the immediately preceding CardioPulse, we looked at the Impact Factor (IF), noted its flaws, and discussed where it is valuable. The key message was that rather than a reductionist approach of trying to find one single perfect metric, we are better served by looking at a variety of measures geared toward the question being asked.
