Interpolated sub-impact factor (SIF) sequences for journal rankings

作者:

Highlights:

• ISIF is proposed for measuring journal's contribution to knowledge accumulation.

• It appears that anomalies cannot happen anymore in the interpolated approach (ISIF).

• The empirical study shows that ISIF gives rankings closer to some experts' opinions.
