“…There is so much pressure indeed in the Spanish-speaking world (much more than in its French counterpart) to publish in high-impact, refereed and internationally indexed periodicals that scientists need to appear as co-authors in the greatest number of scientific papers possible (Curry and Lillis 2004;Gómez et al 2006;Salita 2010). We could therefore speculate that this new disease rightly called ''impactitis' ' (van Diest et al 2001), coupled with the requirements of academic promotion that are based on quantity rather than on quality, are in part responsible for the opacity of the way in which authorship and acknowledgments are attributed in the nonEnglish speaking world.

“…Como destaca Alberts (2013), se está produciendo una notable distorsión del IF, que provoca lo que Casadevall y Fang (2014) denominan ahora como impact factor manía (IFmanía). Anteriormente, otros autores se refirieron a este mismo fenómeno como impactolatría (Camí, 1997), o impactitis (Van Diest, Holzel, Burnett & Crocker, 2001). Es decir, el mal uso del factor de impacto puede sesgar las revistas de determinados campos, ya que "existen diferencias sustanciales en la tasa general de cita entre diferentes disciplinas.…”

“…Elsevier por tanto lanza un nuevo órdago a su competidor y nos orienta hacia dónde se dirige el mercado de los índices de citas en plena era de la impactitis (Van Diest et al, 2001). Este nuevo producto es Scival Spotlight y en este análisis repasaremos su fundamentación científi ca, las principales características de su interfaz y sus posibles aspectos críticos empleando para ello la versión en pruebas del producto de la Universidad de Granada.…”
