- ItemThe Current Impact Factor and the long-term impact of scientific journals by discipline: A logistic diffusion model estimation(SPRINGER, 2006) Contreras, Claudia; Edwards, Gonzalo; Mizala, AlejandraThis paper estimates the long-term impact of journals aggregated in 24 different fields, using a simple logistic diffusion model, and relates the results to the current impact factor. Results show that while the current and the long-term impact factors have a high cot-relation coefficient, some fields are systematically slower-moving than others, as they often differ in the proportion of the overall impact through time that occurs in the short term.
