Sender: Deborah Pentesco-Gilbert [DPentesc@wiley.co.uk] Subject: Impact factor for Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) The impact factor is a tool for ranking, evaluating, and comparing journals. It is a measure of the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The Cochrane Library gained listing by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now called Thomson Scientific in 2005. The first impact factor for CDSR will be for 2007 (released in June 2008). It will be a measure of citations in 2007 to articles published in 2005 and 2006. To date authors have not been able to measure citations to their reviews and have not been able to cite (CDSR) as having an “impact factor” when listing their publications when applying for grants, or being evaluated as part of the research assessment exercise. This increases the risk that authors will publish their reviews elsewhere. All authors should cite Cochrane reviews as published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, with the issue of publication (not the current issue of the Library).
