Abstract: Increasing the number of articles and reviews does not lead to an 
increased impact factor. The type and quality of the articles might influence 
this result. Compared with the traditional 2-year impact factor, a 5-year impact 
factor fluctuates little, and may be a better indicator for evaluation of 
published journals. (Fertil Steril (R) 2010;93:2105-6. (C)2010 by American 
Society for Reproductive Medicine.)
