It is clear that Journal impact factors  have become an important criterion to judge the quality of scientific publications over the years, influencing the evaluation of institutions and individual researchers worldwide. Why is there so much delays in publishing with impact factor journals? What are the factors used to compute impact factor metric? Young academics are disadvantaged during tenure assessment using impact factor journals; how can they be assisted. I need suggestions and perspectives on these issues from the research community.
