SHERPA Impact factor Calculation[edit] In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the average number of citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years.[1] For example, if a journal has an impact factor of 3 in 2008, then its papers published in 2006 and 2007 received 3 citations each on average in 2008. The 2008 impact factor of a journal would be calculated as follows: A = the number of times that articles published in that journal in 2006 and 2007, were cited by articles in indexed journals during 2008. B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2006 and 2007. 2008 impact factor = A/B. (Note that 2008 impact factors are actually published in 2009; they cannot be calculated until all of the 2008 publications have been processed by the indexing agency.) Use[edit] The impact factor is used to compare different journals within a certain field. Criticisms[edit] Numerous criticisms have been made of the use of an impact factor. Responses[edit]

Guidelines for HBR.org Authors At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made decisions more strategically and humanely, if people knew how to work together more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them be smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. To do that we enlist the foremost experts in management theory and practice, collaborating to express their best thoughts in the most influential ways possible. If you have a new piece of research, an unexpected perspective on a current event, or an original way of looking at a perennial management problem in any industry, we would love to hear about it. Here’s what we look for, when we’re considering what to publish on HBR.org: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Some notes about our process: Katherine BellEditor, HBR.org
Guidelines for HBR Authors Harvard Business Review The Harvard Business Review has one goal: to be the source of the best new ideas for people creating, leading, and transforming business. Since its founding in 1922, HBR has had a proud tradition as the world's preeminent management magazine, publishing cutting-edge, authoritative thinking on the key issues facing executives. HBR's articles cover a wide range of topics that are relevant to different industries, management functions, and geographic locations. They focus on such areas as leadership, organizational change, negotiation, strategy, operations, marketing, finance, and managing people. While the topics may vary, all HBR articles share certain characteristics. The best way to inquire about HBR's potential interest in a topic is to prepare a proposal. What is the central message of the article you propose to write (the "aha")? It need not be long and it certainly need not be written in question-and-answer format. Is this idea new? The Editors
