چکیده

Publication impact factors are more important now than 10 or 20 years ago, both for individual researchers and for journals. Citation indices such as Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI) Web of Knowledge, (http://wokinfo.com/) or Publish or Perish (www.harzing.com, based on Google Scholar scholar.google.com) are standardly consulted by job selection committees prior to interviewing candidates.1 Individuals and journals post their h-indices online, and they compare their h-indices with those of their peers. (The h-index of an individual is the largest number n such that n of its publications are all cited at least n times. The definition also applies to research institutes, journals, etc.) We think it is important to be aware of these developments. It is particularly important for researchers at the start of their career that they are aware of how successful researchers operate in this changing academic environment.
