Comment on Look out for Bogus Impact Factor Companies by Mob

The monopoly of JCR list will soon be over once Google Scholar offers customize citation report, which is updated very quickly. People may choose to watch citation report for a journal’s articles based on JCR list. In other words, Google may wish to give us an option to see how many times a particular journal’s papers are cited by other journals listed on JCR list. This will be a revolution on impact factor and many young OA publishers could benefit of it. In such a case, any one could easily verify the quality of a new journal and there is no need to wait for few years until the journal is listed on JCR. The other advantage is that it could challenge JCR list since there may be some new journals that would perform better than traditional JCR names.
