Citations, self-citations, and citation stacking

We have covered the diverse range of citation metrics in previous
posts and although their number continues to grow, the Impact Factor is
still the most important. Despite increasing concerns about how the
Impact Factor is being used, far beyond its main purpose to evaluate
citation profiles of journals, it is a key metric on which authors
choose journals and often editors want to ensure theirs is as high as
possible.
