"Carlo Riccardi" said his opinion in "https://blogs.plos.org/plos/2009/07/plos-journals-measuring-impact-where-it-matters/" on August 20, 2013:
"The IF is not appropriate to evaluate the value of an article. Citations over the time are more appropriate for an individual article evaluation. Notably, the entire number of citations should be considered and not the number of citations in a certain period of time: citation of an article published many years ago may have more value than citation of recently published articles."
What is your opinion?

Dear Ouerfelli,
The following link is a video in English language investigated the effect of journal’s impact factor on the paper’s citations. It could help you as a researcher and/or a research manager to choose right journals for the publications and to know about the extent to which the quality of the journals influences the papers’ citations. Other learning objectives of these videos are to know, the Nobel prize winners publish their papers in which group of journals, and to know about the publishing strategies in top global-ranked universities.
The training video in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYAobljYHW4&feature=youtu.be
