description Constant improvements in published material, sufficient circulation of the material, and balanced financial management are key factors to the survival of a biomedical journal. The natural tendency to seek publishing in journals listed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and Index Medicus (IM) in order to have greater readership acts as a vicious circle on the impact factor (IF) of any publication not listed in these Indexes. The reasons behind the choices of the readings selected and the references cited by the researchers who publish in the journals with the best IFs, whose preferences vouch for the quality of the rest, are complex, arbitrary, and are occasionally the result of simply reciprocity and convenience instead of technical merit.
