Authorship criteria and disclosure of contributions
Article Abstract:
Three medical journals were compared to see the number of authors who do not meet requirements, as laid down by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), for authorship as per their published contributions. Significant differences were found in the number of authors whose published contributions did not meet required criteria, but research should focus on how these differences relate to contribution policies and procedures as well as different forms used to collect information.

The history and meaning of the journal impact factor
Article Abstract:
The term 'impact factor' has gradually evolved to describe both journal and author impact. Journal impact factor is based on 2 elements, the numerator, which is the number of citations in the current year of items published in previous two years, and the denominator, which is the number of substantial articles and reviews published in the same 2 years.
