Abstract:
This review examines the effect of publishing case reports on journal *impact factor* and future research. All case reports published in the four major English language oral and maxillofacial surgery journals in the two year period, 2007-2008, were searched manually. The citation data of each case report were retrieved from the ISI online database. The number, percentage and mean citations received by case reports and their relation to the 2009 journal *impact factor* were analysed. Case reports which received more than 5 citations were also identified and all of the citing articles retrieved and analysed. Thirty-one percent of all articles published in major oral and maxillofacial journals in 2007-2008 were case reports. Case reports had a low citation rate with a mean citation of less than 1. There were 38 (7.2%) case reports with more than 5 citations and 30% of the citing articles were also case reports. The publication of case reports negatively affected journal *impact!
  factor* which correlated directly with the percentage of case reports published within a journal. Case reports reporting recent topics, describing new treatment/diagnosis method and with a literature review were more likely to receive citations.

Abstract:
The purpose has been to search through databases SportDiscus, Embase, Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science, in 2010. Placing the document search as referring to the production lines. We searched with the terms cardi(star) and sport(star) (truncated) in the fields: title, abstract, keywords and document types of the mentioned databases. Statistical analysis was done by incorporating the data to a spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel 2010. The results allow discussing the opportunity to publish research in journals with higher quality and dissemination, and those in which your article may be cited according to indicators: FI, SJR and index h, used in citation analysis. The most commonly used language in the communication on the items of study is English. One third of the journals are open access, as opposed to payment. In addition to such consultation are complementary databases, unable to ignore any of them.

Abstract:
For long time a quantitative assessment of the productivity of Italian researchers has been lacking; the first and unique assessment was the Three-Year Research Evaluation for the period 2001-2003. Italian Law 240/2010, ruling the organization of research and universities, requires a system for the evaluation of the scientific productivity of Italian researchers. In 2011, both the National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR) and the National University Council (CUN) proposed a set of evaluation criteria based on a bibliometric approach with indexes calculated using the information from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science (WOS) or the Elsevier SciVerse SCOPUS databases. The aim of this study is twofold: (i) to present the results of an assessment of the global aggregated scientific productivity of the Italian forestry community for 1996-2010 using the SCOPUS data available from the on-line SCIMAGO system; and (ii) to compare the WOS and SC!
 OPUS databases with respect to three indexes (number of publications, number of citations, h-index) of the scientific productivity for university forest researchers in Italy. Two subcategories of forestry were considered: AGR05 - forest management and silviculture, and AGR06 - wood technology. Out of a total of 84 authors, 76 were considered in the analysis because not affected by unresolved homonymity or duplication. Overall, the trend in scientific productivity for Italian forestry is promising. Italy ranked 10(th) in terms of the h-index with an increasing trend in importance relative to other European countries, though the scientific contribution of authors was largely heterogeneous. Both WOS and SCOPUS databases were suitable sources of information for evaluating the scientific productivity of Italian authors. Although the two databases did not produce meaningful differences for any of the three indexes, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sources must be caref!
 ully considered if used operationally to evaluate the Italian !
 scientif
ic productivity.

Abstract:
Nowadays the *Impact Factor* (IF) is used as a measure of the relevance or the quality of an institution, a research group or project, or a particular researcher's scientific production, regardless of the scientific field to which they belong. This paper shows a classification of the Spanish journals included in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) databases based on their relevance. To measure this relevance we propose the Renormalized *Impact Factor* (Fr) instead of the IF. The results show that 12.64% of Spanish journals included in the ISI may be considered relevant in their categories and that a high IF does not necessarily indicate a high relevance of the journal, so the IF perhaps is not an appropriate index to evaluate scientific activities belonging to different fields.
