EXCERPT FROM PAPER:
Indian Pediatrics was successful in its first application only, the only
drawback is that our official impact factor will be available in the year
2008.  Recently, it has been suggested that ISI should reconsider its
policy on citation tracking and should introduce a policy of immediately
tracking any peer-reviewed journal that meets basic quality standards and
which can provide reference list data in an appropriate form to allow
automated analysis (5).  This will end the current 3 year-long wait for
the established journals to have their impact factors.
