The ARP impact factor conundrum
In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the average number of citations received per paper, published in that journal, during the two preceding years.
2014 impact factor = A/B
A = 2014 cites of articles published in 2012 and 2013.
B = the total number of "citable items" published in 2012 and 2013.
How is impact factor calculated?

Quantifying citations has become the post-publication counterpart to pre-publication peer review.

(…) quando uma figura
Se nos mostra no ar, robusta e válida, De disforme e grandíssima estatura;
O rosto carregado, a barba esquálida, Os olhos encovados, e a postura
Medonha e má e a cor terrena e pálida;
Cheios de terra e crespos os cabelos, A boca negra, os dentes amarelos.
Tão grande era de membros, que bem posso Certificar-te que este era o segundo
De Rodes estranhíssimo Colosso,
Que um dos sete milagres foi do mundo.
Cum tom de voz nos fala, horrendo e grosso, Que pareceu sair do mar profundo.
Arrepiam-se as carnes e o cabelo,
A mi e a todos, só de ouvi-lo e vê-lo! (…)
Lawrence P, Nature, 2003
