Science Citation Index-SCI or ISI is perceived to indicate quality of scientific publications - journals in particular
Thanks Andrea kindly send me pdf attachment of your paper. Thanks
Dear Prof.Aliyu Salisu Barau,
To measure quality of journal, there are also H-index and Q index in Scimago.
I don't think so. My observations are as follows:
A few journals with impact factor (3 to 4) are publishing average quality papers whereas some journals with impact factor (1 to 2) are publishing the same quality or in some cases better quality papers. Hence, impact factor is not enough to measure quality of a peer reviewed journal.
Other criteria are-
1. SCImago Journal Rank (Scopus)
2. h-index (Google Scholar)
3. ResearchGate Journal Impact
No, definitely not. In my experience, journals with lower impact factors do a better job.
Sometimes it is a meaure and in others is not.
Majority of high impact factor journals are of good quality. However, some low impact factor journals are also very strong.
It is not a very accurate measure, because it measures the citations to the journal articles, which is basically based on the accessibility. Nowadays, the accessibility to open access journals makes them getting relatively high impact-factors even though the quality might be less than the subscription journals.
