“…It is accordingly now very clear that these publications have been both popular with the readership [9][10][11] and also well-cited in the literature. 1,2 Thus, to some extent, an increase in the IF for 2021 was predicted and was in part driven by COVID-19-related publications. 2 However, as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes and we all go back to "business as usual," it could thus also be anticipated that the 2022 IF would correspondingly fall.…”
