Transcript of Have you been cited? Impact measures for PBRF
“In 1955, it did not occur to me that “impact” would one day become so controversial. Like nuclear energy, the
impact factor is a mixed blessing. I expected it to be used constructively while recognizing that in the wrong hands it
might be abused.”
Eugene Garfield
