Caríssimos
Como tem feito nos últimos anos o Prof Will Hopkins (Sport Performance Research Institute, AUT University, New Zealand) disponibilizou os fatores de impacto (JCR) dos periódicos em Ciencias do Esporte (http://www.sportsci.org/2011/wghif.htm).
Também fez um levantamento das alterações ocorridas do ano anterior. Não houve muitas alterações no ranking, porém ele mostrou que alguns periódicos tem aumentado frequentemente o índice (por exemplo o J Strenght Cond Res).
Independente das limitações deste índice de impacto, o JCR é a principal baliza para o Qualis Capes, que acaba sendo utilizado para avaliar os cursos de pós, as concessões de bolsas e auxílios. Outro fator é que algumas revistas passaram a cobrar taxas de publicação quando alcançam determinado índice ou posição neste ranking.
Impact Factors of Journals in Sport and Exercise Science and Medicine for 2011
Will G Hopkins
Sportscience 15, 15-17, 2011 (sportsci.org/2011/wghif.htm)
Sports Medicine has resumed its former status in our disciplines as the journal with the highest impact factor (5.1). Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition made the most spectacular entry/gain (up from an unofficial 0.5 last year to 2.7). Other gains in excess of 70% from last year were achieved by Clinics in Sports Medicine (now 2.4), International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (2.2), and Journal of Leisure Research (1.5). Noteworthy journals making gains of 30-70% were British Journal of Sports Medicine (3.5), Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport (2.5), and International Journal of Sports Medicine (2.4). High flyers making smaller gains were Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (4.1), Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews (3.8), and Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports (2.8). Noteworthy small improvements were made by Journal of Applied Physiology (4.2), Journal of Sports Sciences (1.9), and Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (1.8), while there were negligible changes for the two relevant series of American Journal of Physiology (4.7, 3.9), American Journal of Sports Medicine (3.8), Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (2.8), and Journal of Biomechanics (2.5). Notable falls of more than 10% were recorded by Journal of Athletic Training (2.0), The Sport Psychologist (1.1), and Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (<1.0). International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance was inexplicably omitted from the official report but has a respectable unofficial factor (1.2). A scheme to make impact factors obsolete by publishing research that conforms with peer-approved proposals seems unlikely to get started. KEYWORDS: citation, publication, research.
