Abstract:  This communication describes the building of a list of
constructed impact factors (CIF) for biomedical journals not included in
the
1996 editions of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The online retrieval
from the host DI;DIMDI of the data needed for impact factor calculation is
described in detail. At present, the CIF list comprises 338 titles. The
top
100 (ranked according to their CIFs) are shown. The complete list is
available via the World Wide Web at the URL:
http://www.medizin.fu-berlin.de/medbib/CIF/cif.html. The possible
usefulness
of constructed impact f'actors for citation and evaluation studies is
discussed.
