Abstract

Following up on recommendations from OSI 2016, this team will dig deeper into the question of developing and recommending new tools to repair or replace the journal impact factor (and/or how it is used), and propose actions the OSI community can take between now and the next meeting. Whatââ¬â¢s needed? What change is realistic and how will we get there from here?
