Do we really justify the quality of journal by its IF and hence the reputation of the research in a reverse reflection or vice versa?
There are hundreds of thousands of journal in the world. Different journals have different IF based on different agencies. It is not only very confusing to find a common standardisation of different journals published by various publishers but to justify the actual quality of any two journals even within the same discipline also. Dear friend, what's your view?
There are just a few prestigious sites that describe IF of each journals. Generally the result is the same, but in otherwise there are formulations to calculate it without problems. It's my humble opinion.
Dear Alain Manuel Chaple Gil, thank you for your humble opinion! Yes, there are sites and they calculate the IF of affiliated or partner Journals using certain formulas. But, thing is that there appears more than one impact points (not necessarily IF) when you see some of the journals' home page. And more over the acceptance of IF (impact points for some journals) by your institute/agency is much more contradictory in reality which is the great concern of mine including some of the friends belonging to academia.
