科学出版社（sciencepublishers
）声明了对于广受指责的影响因子潜规则操作的紧迫关注，将严肃处理期刊论文自引文过多的问题。66
家期刊（37
家新违规）因自引文或期刊之间相互引文过多而从2012
年影响因子列 表中删除，其中点名批评的包括《International Journal of Crashworthiness
》 和《 Iranian Journal of Fuzzy Systems
》这两家，而之前受到同样处理的有2011
年的51
家（28
家新违规）和2010
年的34
家。汤森路透曾于2011
年统计出，140
家期刊 在过去2
年间具有70%
以上的自引文，而作为对照的是，另外五分之四的期刊将这一比例控制在30%
以下。此外，从2012
年列表中删除这一创纪录的期刊 数，汤森路透认为最核心原因是因自引文而歪曲排名。面对这66
家期刊（仅占总数10,853
的0.5%
）似乎远离影响因子游戏规则时，其它出版社承诺不再过分强调用影响因子作为晋升指标。此外，五月份科研评估的旧金山宣言提到，更令人遗憾的是这一事实——影响因子不仅可衡量期刊水平，还可评估科学家水平和研究论文质量。科研界应淡化影响因子作用 对待66
家期刊除名的处罚，大多数期刊处于漠不关心和忧虑过重之间，其主编仍迫切地希望他们期刊的影响因子不断创下新高。即便意识到影响因子仅反映期刊的平均引文量而与期刊内相互引文无关这一事实，他们仍不重视多次提到的影响因子的正规引文来源。 正如本月初GeorgeLozano
在伦敦大学经济学博客上讨论的那样，同一期刊不同论文的引文数差异不断扩大，这使得以期刊影响因子为标准不具有说服力。 汤森路透称，2012
年55%
的期刊提高了影响因子，其余45%
的期刊则降低了影响因子。公共科学图书馆PLoS ONE
处于影响因子下降的一列，其论文发布量是世界上最大的，这导致该期刊影响因子从2010
年的4.4
（当时发文6,749
篇）下降到2012
年的3.7
（发文23,468
篇）。不过由于该杂志是科研评估的旧金山宣言（DORA
）的签约方，影响因子下降可能对其学术地位不构成威胁。 公共科学图书馆PLoSONE
的编辑部主任DamianPattinson
在博客中写道： “更显著的成果是，我们真正地发文所有类型的研究，而不顾论文的评估因子，这有利于科研界评价什么论文才值得引文。现在是让我们记住具有影响力的论文而非发文期刊的最佳时候。”被删除2012
