The colleague is Peter Tyrer. I call upon ZDoggMD to write some music to it, preferably hip hop. I thought that, despite our best intentions, we are all in the Impact Factory together and perhaps we need to have a British Journal of Psychiatry song we could sing to our potential contributors, which I know includes all of us, so here it is: The Impact Factory Song There comes a time of year Which for some yields joy and cheer Whereas for others it brings gloom And impending signs of doom I refer to the end of June It’s the Impact Factor tune Which we dance to tho’ we fear Its strains may cost us dear In promoting our allian...

Everyone and their grandmother knows that Impact Factor is a crude, unreliable and just wrong metric to use in evaluating individuals for career-making (or career-breaking) purposes. He adds that despite this, many institutions (or rather, their bureaucrats – scientists would abandon it if their bosses would) cling to impact factor anyway. Alternatives to impact factor are being attempted, and in today’s online world of social bookmarking, forums and preprint archives it is not without irony that the Google pagerank model may offer a new approach. A version of PageRank has recently been proposed as a replacement for the traditional Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) impact factor. It has been implemented at eigenfactor.org. Instead of simply ...

Unfortunately a few mycology journals like Fungal Genetics and Biology/Experimental Mycology aren’t included. Mycology Journals influence over time.

Of course, to make this possible, RSS Feeds are required and although most publishers offer feeds for their journals there are some important exceptions. I'll start from the bad ones: Thieme and ScienceDirect. The Synlett/Synthesis website is possibly the worst for organic chemistry. I did not expect to find RSS and indeed I was right. After all, they do not even have a search option in the website! The Tetrahedron family goes a bit better but not too much. If you google "ScienceDirect RSS" you get this. There are only two Live bookmarks, a newsletter and the unbelievable "Title Alerts", a feed informing you on "New, Changed and Discontinued Titles" (makes sense? really...
