Abstract
The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is like the weather: everyone talks about it, everyone complains about it, and everyone feels incapable of changing it. Indeed, the scientific community has been held hostage of this measure of impact for a long time, which erroneously became the one and only simple metric to evaluate the impact of a single publication, the prestige of a journal, or the relevance of an individual scientist.
