“If you publish a journal that trumpets its impact factor in adverts or emails, you are statistically illiterate. If you trumpet that impact factor to three decimal places, there is little hope for you.” --Stephen Curry on Nature Magazine and others

Professor Stephen Curry is Sick of Impact Factors, especially ones given to three decimal places with no error bars.

 

well at least Nature Magazine (impact factor 36.280) is coming down in price... (was $60)
