But journals are largely evaluated by their impact factor and Science might feel they do not have to cooperate given that their IF is so much higher than the competition's anyway. Moreover, citations after the first two years do not count for the IF. So, having papers cited and their results included in a review may not seem all that important to Science. After all, who - when given the choice - would say: uh, come to think of it, I'd rather publish the paper in PRL, because they are cooler with reprinting figures. <br /><br />PRL, on the other hand, has an IF that is just roughly twice that of PRB of New J. Phys., so other factors might much more easily tip the balance in favor of the competition.Schlupphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399256701731431557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-55995571226971971732009-07-10T18:44:12.046-05:002009-07-10T18:44:12.046-05:00You might think that a journal would like to encou...You might think that a journal would like to <i>encourage</i> the reproduction of figures from its articles. This would increase citations, etc. <i>Science</i>'s attitude is doubly mysterious.Douglas Natelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340091255404229559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-6455601417835544392009-07-10T09:29:20.784-05:002009-07-10T09:29:20.784-05:00What Dimetrio said.
