Abstract

In this specific study, a new procedure for computing the impact of articles / authors / journals is made. Identification of importance of impact evaluations in general is presented. The inadequacies of the methodologies presently used to evaluate impact of published research are also identified. Inadequacies of the present impact metrics is used as justification to develop new impact metrics which are citation based metric tools. The new metric tools are article level metrics. Frequencies of citation of a reference within an article were used to determine the imaginary and the real impacts of the cited reference. The development of the new impact metrics is based on the opinion that not all citations made in an article should have a positive count in the computation of the impact of a cited publication.
