How to increase the Impact Factor of a Scientific Journal?
In this review article, the nature and uncertainties of the impact factor (IF) of scientific journals is discussed. Based on the citations of articles published in a journal during a given number of years, the impact factor has been used for purposes as different as that of evaluating the scientific journal, to helping to evaluate individual scientists, and as a tool for librarians to select jo...
متن کاملHow Useful Is Relevance?
Eliminating irrelevant attributes prior to induction boosts the performance of many learning algorithms. Relevance, however, is no guarantee of usefulness to a particular learner. We test two methods of finding relevant attributes, FOCUS and RELIEF, to see how the attributes they select perform with ID3/C4.5 on two learning problems from a calendar scheduling domain. A more direct attribute sel...
متن کاملHow is impact factor impacting our research?
The impact factor (IF) of an journal is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors deemed to be more important than those with lower ones. However it is not a perfect metric and has its own limitations. Journa...
متن کاملHow Useful is Projective Geometry?
In this response, we will weigh two diierent approaches to shape recognition. On the one hand we have the use of restricted camera models as advocated in the paper of Pizlo et. al. to give a closer approximation to real calibrated cameras. The alternative approach is to use a full projective camera model and take advantage of the machinery of projective geometry. 1 About the perspective project...
متن کاملHow Useful Is Old Information?
We consider the problem of load balancing in dynamic distributed systems in cases where new incoming tasks can make use of old information. For example, consider a multi-processor system where incoming tasks with exponentially distributed service requirements arrive as a Poisson process, the tasks must choose a processor for service, and a task knows when making this choice the processor loads ...
