Re: [ECOLOG-L] Are page charges related to Impact Factor?

[Malcolm McCallum]

This won't really work because there are hundreds of non-predatory journals
that have no impact factor.
Further, impact factor is confounded by a multitude of issues central to
why so many have been rejecting it.

It is already a fact that impact factor is a better predictor of whether a
paper will need to be retracted than it is an indicator of whether or not a
paper will be cited.

What does that tell you?

When you rate nonparametric data with parametric stats you are going to
have some serious illusions.
Impact factor is a mean, thus a statistic intended for use with a
parametric distribution.
Citation rates of journals are not parametrically distributed, in fact,
they are not even close to parametric.  The last study demonstrated they
are a power curve.
Good job JCR.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Are page charges related to Impact Factor?

[Mudelsee M]

Dear Jorge,

good question!

One could study it by taking paired data, let us say: average article 
processing fee (APF) and Impact Factor (IF). (Admittedly a lot of data 
gathering work!)


The first thing would be to make a scatter plot and look wether the data 
are compatible with a linear or at least monotonic relation between APF 
and IF. One can use Pearson's correlation coefficient (linear relation) 
or Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (monotonic relation). 
(Caution needs to be exercised when assessing the significance and 
accuracy of these correlation numbers since the standard packages 
usually assume Gaussian distributions, w´hich very likely seems not to 
be the case for either APF or IF. (One may study the distributions using 
histograms or, more advanced, kernel estimation.)


If the data appear incompatible with a monotonic function, then this is 
a challenge to go beyond the scatterplot analysis; nonlinear measures 
(mutual information) could help, but it may be difficult to assess the 
associated uncertainties.


My gut feeling is that at first order the model may be monotonic: 
high-IF journals should not rely in first instance on making money from 
APF, while low-IF (especially "predatory") "journals" should rely on APF 
more strongly.


I have not check the research literature whether such analyses have 
already been done.


I am sorry if this answer is too long, but I thought to take this 
opportunity to illustrate the usefulness of statistical science.


Best wishes

Manfred
