Counting on citations: a flawed way to measure quality.

Garry Walter1, Sidney Bloch, Glenn Hunt, Karen Fisher.   

Abstract

The journal Impact Factor and citation counts are misconstrued and misused as measures of scientific quality. Articles must be read in order to judge their quality. We have introduced a system, which may be easily replicated, to identify the best articles published in a journal.
