Journal Impact Factor - what are the pros and cons of the metric and why is it time for new alternatives that increase insights into the multidimensional nature journal performance measurement.
Probably the clearest and most concise argument about the weaknesses of Impact factor I have seen.
Still, I'm not quite sure why a 2 year and 5 year citation window is "indefensible". Does a 3 year citation window (SNIP and SJR), really makes such a big difference?
Thanks for the video!

I suppose there is a study on this?
