Abstract

Impact Factor is widely used as a parameter for judging the value of academic research. Some researchers are of the opinion that, for assessing the quality of research, scientists and academicians rely too much on Impact factor nowadays and this leads to some undesirable outcomes for the overall scientific enterprise. This short article presents and describes some of those outcomes.
