notes on evolutionary biology papers/programs and other stuff: a non-frequent approach

What's the impact factor got to do with paper quality?

Postma E. (2007) Inflated impact factors? The true impact of evolutionary papers in non-evolutionary journals. PLoS ONE 2(10):e999.

Too much ado about high impact factor journals. Evolutionary papers in lower-ranking non-specialized journals are undervalued. A call for a more elaborate journal classification system including field-oriented impact factors.
