I'm facing a problem which any researcher face sooner or later...Publishing in a Journal with impact factor.
Now the problem...On searching web i came across various versions of impact factors...
I have seen journals which claim an Impact factor of 3 or 4 and when i checked the journal articles...they were 3 page articles which even a primary school student can make using google....(i can attach those papers...which are by v good university professors...but i dont want to)
No doubt i can download list of impacted journals from Thomson reuter or Scimago....
But how to ascertain correct impact factor of different journals
I have seen people mentioning their journal articles being published in impacted journal and claim API scores....(when you search those journals on scimago..they are nowhwere)
Sad but true
Please Guide...for the benefit of all
PS: My university is asking for 2 publications with impact factor (Thomson Reuter) greater than 1 along with my thesis.
