What do you think on Clarivate handing out Impact Factors to all ESCI journals?

01 January 1970 1 1K Report

Journals used to need to maintain very high quality requirements for a long time in order to be able to get an Impact Factor. But thanks to this new strategy of Clarivate, now ANY journal that has been indexed in the Emerging Sciences Citation Index database of Web of Science will get an Impact Factor in 2023.

This includes many journals that have become ESCI-indexed for a short time. Not to mention that many ESCI journals are mediocre at best, not even being indexed by Scopus or Pubmed Central. And now, all of such weak journals will get an Impact Factor!
