Assessing the quality of a scientific article has proven to be an elusive task. Bibliometrics is the value currently used for this purpose. Although the journal impact factor was not originally designed to determine the quality of research in a scientific article, it has become a surrogate for delineating the quality of a journal and even representing the quality of the individual articles in that journal.
The journal impact factor refers only to the journal in question and not to the metrics of the articles; it refers to the number of citations that the journal receives in a two-year period divided by the number of articles published in that period.
