I very much apologize for sending out that last email to the sigmetrics group.  I hit reply on the wrong email.

|ABSTRACT:       The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) defines
|substantive articles as source items, which include only research and
|review (R&R) articles. This policy encourages some Journals to publish a
|significant number of original reports in the category of letters to the
|editor and reviews in the category of Editorials. Consequently, the
|Impact Factor (IF) fails to provide a fair comparison between medical
|journals. We introduce a new value, the Comprehensive Citation Factor
|(CCF), which would include in the denominator all original reports and
|review articles. We reassessed the 2007 ISI IF rankings of 39
|dermatology journals using the CCF formula. Along with research and
|review articles, research letters, editorials and case reports were also
|included in the denominator value. The CCF was calculated for each
|journal and then compared with the IF provided by the ISI for 2007. The
|rank orders of
|27/39 journals (69%) were altered by two or more places bi-
|directionally.
|Journals with a significant number of editorial and/or letters had a
|lower CCF. Only 4 of the 39 journals (10%) kept the same rank when
|evaluated with the new CCF formula. The CCF is a more accurate
|quantitative representation to use for individual journal comparison.
|This formula would encourage editors to publish more manuscripts as
|original or review articles, rather letters or editorials, and eliminate
|the need for the controversial subjective classification.

|ABSTRACT:       Background: Reconstruction of genes and/or protein
|networks from automated analysis of the literature is one of the current
|targets of text mining in biomedical research. Some user-friendly tools
|already perform this analysis on precompiled databases of abstracts of
|scientific papers. Other tools allow expert users to elaborate and
|analyze the full content of a corpus of scientific documents. However,
|to our knowledge, no user friendly tool that simultaneously analyzes the
|latest set of scientific documents available on line and reconstructs
|the set of genes referenced in those documents is available.
|
|Results: This article presents such a tool, Biblio-MetReS, and compares
|its functioning and results to those of other user-friendly applications
|(iHOP, STRING) that are widely used. Under similar conditions, Biblio-
|MetReS creates networks that are comparable to those of other user
|friendly tools. Furthermore, analysis of full text documents provides
|more complete reconstructions than those that result from using only the
|abstract of the document.
|
|Conclusions: Literature-based automated network reconstruction is still
|far from providing complete reconstructions of molecular networks.
|However, its value as an auxiliary tool is high and it will increase as
|standards for reporting biological entities and relationships become
|more widely accepted and enforced. Biblio-MetReS is an application that
|can be downloaded from http://metres.udl.cat/. It provides an easy to
|use environment for researchers to reconstruct their networks of
|interest from an always up to date set of scientific documents.

|ABSTRACT:       At the root of applications for substructure and
|similarity searching, reaction retrieval, synthesis planning, drug
|discovery, and physicochemical property prediction is the need for a
|machine-readable representation of a structure. Systematic nomenclature
|is unsuitable, and notations and fragment codes have been superseded,
|except in certain specific applications. Connection tables are widely
|used, but there is no formal standard. Recently the International Union
|of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) International Chemical Identifier
|(InChI) has started to attract interest. This review also summarizes the
|representation of chemical reactions and three-dimensional structures.
