Title: Improving the "Impact" of Academic Psychiatry 

Source: ACADEMIC PSYCHIATRY, 32 (3): 169-172 MAY-JUN 2008 

Comment: "While the authors of this editorial are concerned with the topic 
of academic psychiatry what they say should be read by any editor or 
publisher seeking to improve the quality and thereby the impact of his or 
her journal. And certainly bibliometricians can use their guidelines in 
advising administrators on the complex question of comparing the quality 
of journals." EG
