> According to ISI, "Citable Items" are Journal and Review Articles. This

>> Hello again
>>
>> More missing citations?
>>
>> I have downloaded now the CITED JOURNAL DATA TABLE corresponding to
>> the journal
>> IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPONENTS AND PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES,
>> Year=2003
>>
>> According to the ISI the computation is as follows
>> Cites in 2003 to articles published in: 2002 = 43
>> 2001= 107
>> Sum: 150
>>
>> Number of articles published in: 2002 = 94
>>   2001 = 96
>>  Sum: 190
>>
>> Calculation: Cites to recent articles  150 = 0.790
>>   Number of recent articles  190
>>
>> Now, if we go to the “cited journal data table”, it seems that the
>> number of citations is different (attached file, in ORANGE)
>>
>> I obtain 17 citations in 2002  and 18 citations in 2001 (35 citations
>> that contribute to the Impact Factor)
>>
>> I have checked the data, but I cannot find the error
