Impact Factor je za znanstvene revije nekaj podobnega, kot je Googlov Page Rank za spletne strani. Podobno, kot se spletne strani borijo za Page Rank, se revije borijo za Impact Factor. Legalno in nelegalno. Nelegalni triki za Page Rank so "spoofing" in "spamindexing". Revije pa se poslužujejo trikov, kakšen me je danes čakal v predalu za pošto:
With the co-publication of the WXYZ Society of ........ Engineers(WXYZ) and Springer since year 2008, and the establishment of the WXYZ Award, the WXYZ Journal of ...... Engineering』 has increased its submission rate, and has grown continuously both in quantity and quality. The journal is now indexed in SCI-E and SCOPUS from January 2008(Vol. 12, No.1).Trije, ki so revijo pridno citirali in ji pomagali do višjega faktorja vpliva, dobijo 75g zlato medaljo. Če bo kdo linkal na ta zapis, medalje ne dobi.
As previously announced, the WXYZ would like to select the awardees of the WXYZ Award for the year 2010. For those who have previously cited our Journal in a SCI(E) Journal, please fill in the sheet attached [SCI(E) Citation] and send it to WXYZ@email by November 26, 2010.
