The measure, namely Journal Impact Factor, is essentially a reflection of the extent to which papers published in a given journal are referred to, or cited, in other papers published in many journals (including papers published in that journal). Journal Citation Reports are useful tools but, as with any tool, they need to be used with skill, discretion, and judgment and can only be as good as their users.
