Case report

Case Reports are accepted exceptionally, only if they describe absolutely original facts (i.e. unreported), and have high teaching value (i.e. their knowledge is expected to influence the clinical management of the related conditions). Unreported associations are not considered worth publishing unless they are proved to be connected by a novel, formerly unknown cause-and-effect relationship. Case reports focusing on therapy (i.e. original surgical techniques) are usually rejected, since single cases (or very small series) cannot be generalized to validate any treatments.  Manuscripts must meet one of the following criteria:

1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications. 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease. 3. New associations or variations in disease processes. 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases. 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms. 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient. 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect.

Case reports should include an up-to-date review of all previous cases in the field. Authors should seek written and signed consent to publish the information from the patients or their guardians prior to submission. Authors will be asked to confirm informed consent was received as part of the submission process. The submitted manuscript must include a statement to this effect in the 'Consent' section, as follows: "Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images". The editorial office may request copies of the informed consent documentation upon submission of the manuscript.

Preparing your manuscript

Title page 

The title page should:

• "A versus B in the treatment of C: a randomized controlled trial", "X is a risk factor for Y: a case control study", "What is the impact of factor X on subject Y: A systematic review, A case report etc."
• or, for non-clinical or non-research studies: a description of what the article reports
• if a collaboration group should be listed as an author, please list the Group name as an author. If you would like the names of the individual members of the Group to be searchable through their individual PubMed records, please include this information in the “Acknowledgements” section in accordance with the instructions below
• Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT , do not currently satisfy our authorship criteria . Notably an attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs. Use of an LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript
• indicate the corresponding author

The abstract should not exceed 350 words. Please minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references in the abstract. The abstract must include the following separate sections:

• Background: why the case should be reported and its novelty
• Case presentation: a brief description of the patient’s clinical and demographic details, the diagnosis, any interventions and the outcomes
• Conclusions: a brief summary of the clinical impact or potential implications of the case report

Keywords 

Three to ten keywords representing the main content of the article.

The Background section should explain the background to the case report or study, its aims, a summary of the existing literature.

Case presentation

This section should include a description of the patient’s relevant demographic details, medical history, symptoms and signs, treatment or intervention, outcomes and any other significant details.

Conclusions

This should state clearly the main conclusions and include an explanation of their relevance or importance to the field.

List of abbreviations

If abbreviations are used in the text they should be defined in the text at first use, and a list of abbreviations should be provided.

Declarations

All manuscripts must contain the following sections under the heading 'Declarations':

Ethics approval and consent to participate

Consent for publication.

• Availability of data and material

Competing interests

Authors' contributions, acknowledgements.

• Authors' information (optional)

Please see below for details on the information to be included in these sections.

If any of the sections are not relevant to your manuscript, please include the heading and write 'Not applicable' for that section.

Manuscripts reporting studies involving human participants, human data or human tissue must:

• include a statement on ethics approval and consent (even where the need for approval was waived)
• include the name of the ethics committee that approved the study and the committee’s reference number if appropriate

Studies involving animals must include a statement on ethics approval.

See our  editorial policies  for more information.

If your manuscript does not report on or involve the use of any animal or human data or tissue, please state “Not applicable” in this section.

If your manuscript contains any individual person’s data in any form (including individual details, images or videos), consent to publish must be obtained from that person, or in the case of children, their parent or legal guardian. All presentations of case reports must have consent to publish.

You can use your institutional consent form if you prefer. You should not send the form to us on submission, but we may request to see a copy at any stage (including after publication).

See our  editorial policies  for more information on consent for publication.

If your manuscript does not contain data from any individual person, please state “Not applicable” in this section.

Availability of data and materials

All manuscripts must include an ‘Availability of data and materials’ statement. Data availability statements should include information on where data supporting the results reported in the article can be found including, where applicable, hyperlinks to publicly archived datasets analysed or generated during the study. By data we mean the minimal dataset that would be necessary to interpret, replicate and build upon the findings reported in the article. We recognise it is not always possible to share research data publicly, for instance when individual privacy could be compromised, and in such instances data availability should still be stated in the manuscript along with any conditions for access.

Data availability statements can take one of the following forms (or a combination of more than one if required for multiple datasets):

• The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS]
• The datasets used and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
• All data generated or analysed during this study are included in this published article [and its supplementary information files].
• The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are not publicly available due [REASON WHY DATA ARE NOT PUBLIC] but are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
• Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analysed during the current study.
• The data that support the findings of this study are available from [third party name] but restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for the current study, and so are not publicly available. Data are however available from the authors upon reasonable request and with permission of [third party name].
• Not applicable. If your manuscript does not contain any data, please state 'Not applicable' in this section.

More examples of template data availability statements, which include examples of openly available and restricted access datasets, are available  here .

SpringerOpen  also requires that authors cite any publicly available data on which the conclusions of the paper rely in the manuscript. Data citations should include a persistent identifier (such as a DOI) and should ideally be included in the reference list. Citations of datasets, when they appear in the reference list, should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite and follow journal style. Dataset identifiers including DOIs should be expressed as full URLs. For example:

Hao Z, AghaKouchak A, Nakhjiri N, Farahmand A. Global integrated drought monitoring and prediction system (GIDMaPS) data sets. figshare. 2014.  http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.853801

With the corresponding text in the Availability of data and materials statement:

The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS]. [Reference number]

All financial and non-financial competing interests must be declared in this section.

See our  editorial policies  for a full explanation of competing interests. If you are unsure whether you or any of your co-authors have a competing interest please contact the editorial office.

Please use the authors’ initials to refer to each authors' competing interests in this section.

If you do not have any competing interests, please state "The authors declare that they have no competing interests" in this section.

All sources of funding for the research reported should be declared. The role of the funding body in the design of the study and collection, analysis, and interpretation of data and in writing the manuscript should be declared.

The individual contributions of authors to the manuscript should be specified in this section. Guidance and criteria for authorship can be found in our  editorial policies .

Please use initials to refer to each author's contribution in this section, for example: "FC analyzed and interpreted the patient data regarding the hematological disease and the transplant. RH performed the histological examination of the kidney, and was a major contributor in writing the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript."

Please acknowledge anyone who contributed towards the article who does not meet the criteria for authorship including anyone who provided professional writing services or materials.

Authors should obtain permission to acknowledge from all those mentioned in the Acknowledgements section.

See our  editorial policies  for a full explanation of acknowledgements and authorship criteria.

If you do not have anyone to acknowledge, please write "Not applicable" in this section.

Group authorship (for manuscripts involving a collaboration group): if you would like the names of the individual members of a collaboration Group to be searchable through their individual PubMed records, please ensure that the title of the collaboration Group is included on the title page and in the submission system and also include collaborating author names as the last paragraph of the “Acknowledgements” section. Please add authors in the format First Name, Middle initial(s) (optional), Last Name. You can add institution or country information for each author if you wish, but this should be consistent across all authors.

Please note that individual names may not be present in the PubMed record at the time a published article is initially included in PubMed as it takes PubMed additional time to code this information.

Preparing figures

When preparing figures, please follow the formatting instructions below.

• Figure titles (max 15 words) and legends (max 300 words) should be provided in the main manuscript, not in the graphic file.
• Tables should NOT be submitted as figures but should be included in the main manuscript file.
• Multi-panel figures (those with parts a, b, c, d etc.) should be submitted as a single composite file that contains all parts of the figure.
• Figures should be numbered in the order they are first mentioned in the text, and uploaded in this order.
• Figures should be uploaded in the correct orientation.
• Figure keys should be incorporated into the graphic, not into the legend of the figure.
• Each figure should be closely cropped to minimize the amount of white space surrounding the illustration. Cropping figures improves accuracy when placing the figure in combination with other elements when the accepted manuscript is prepared for publication on our site. For more information on individual figure file formats, see our detailed instructions.
• Individual figure files should not exceed 10 MB. If a suitable format is chosen, this file size is adequate for extremely high quality figures.
• Please note that it is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain permission from the copyright holder to reproduce figures (or tables) that have previously been published elsewhere. In order for all figures to be open access, authors must have permission from the rights holder if they wish to include images that have been published elsewhere in non open access journals. Permission should be indicated in the figure legend, and the original source included in the reference list.

Figure file types

We accept the following file formats for figures:

• EPS (suitable for diagrams and/or images)
• PDF (suitable for diagrams and/or images)
• Microsoft Word (suitable for diagrams and/or images, figures must be a single page)
• PowerPoint (suitable for diagrams and/or images, figures must be a single page)
• TIFF (suitable for images)
• JPEG (suitable for photographic images, less suitable for graphical images)
• PNG (suitable for images)
• BMP (suitable for images)
• CDX (ChemDraw - suitable for molecular structures)

Figure size and resolution

Figures are resized during publication of the final full text and PDF versions to conform to the SpringerOpen standard dimensions, which are detailed below.

Figures on the web:

• width of 600 pixels (standard), 1200 pixels (high resolution).

Figures in the final PDF version:

• width of 85 mm for half page width figure
• width of 170 mm for full page width figure
• maximum height of 225 mm for figure and legend
• image resolution of approximately 300 dpi (dots per inch) at the final size

Figures should be designed such that all information, including text, is legible at these dimensions. All lines should be wider than 0.25 pt when constrained to standard figure widths. All fonts must be embedded.

Figure file compression

Vector figures should if possible be submitted as PDF files, which are usually more compact than EPS files.

• TIFF files should be saved with LZW compression, which is lossless (decreases file size without decreasing quality) in order to minimize upload time.
• JPEG files should be saved at maximum quality.
• Conversion of images between file types (especially lossy formats such as JPEG) should be kept to a minimum to avoid degradation of quality.

If you have any questions or are experiencing a problem with figures, please contact the customer service team at [email protected] .

When preparing tables, please follow the formatting instructions below.

• Tables should be numbered and cited in the text in sequence using Arabic numerals (i.e. Table 1, Table 2 etc.).
• Tables less than one A4 or Letter page in length can be placed in the appropriate location within the manuscript.
• Tables larger than one A4 or Letter page in length can be placed at the end of the document text file. Please cite and indicate where the table should appear at the relevant location in the text file so that the table can be added in the correct place during production.
• Larger datasets, or tables too wide for A4 or Letter landscape page can be uploaded as additional files. Please see [below] for more information.
• Tabular data provided as additional files can be uploaded as an Excel spreadsheet (.xls ) or comma separated values (.csv). Please use the standard file extensions.
• Table titles (max 15 words) should be included above the table, and legends (max 300 words) should be included underneath the table.
• Tables should not be embedded as figures or spreadsheet files, but should be formatted using ‘Table object’ function in your word processing program.
• Color and shading may not be used. Parts of the table can be highlighted using superscript, numbering, lettering, symbols or bold text, the meaning of which should be explained in a table legend.
• Commas should not be used to indicate numerical values.

If you have any questions or are experiencing a problem with tables, please contact the customer service team at [email protected] .

Preparing additional files

As the length and quantity of data is not restricted for many article types, authors can provide datasets, tables, movies, or other information as additional files.

All Additional files will be published along with the accepted article. Do not include files such as patient consent forms, certificates of language editing, or revised versions of the main manuscript document with tracked changes. Such files, if requested, should be sent by email to the journal’s editorial email address, quoting the manuscript reference number.

How to Write a Case Report for Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports– What do Editor and Reviewer want?

Ashok shyam.

1 Indian Orthopaedic Research Group, Thane, India

2 Sancheti Institute for Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Pune, India

More than two years have passed since Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports (JOCR) has started publication. Over this period of time a huge number of reviewers and Editorial Board Members have contributed to review the articles and send comments on improvement of various aspect of case reports. I have personally reviewed all articles that are published in the journal. During this course a lot of tips and tricks about writing a good case report were noted and I wished to share them with our authors and readers. Also with increase in number of submissions to JOCR, we come across many good case reports, which are poorly written. This leads to delay in publishing the reports and good formatting and content will significantly reduce the time to publication. These two intentions prompted me to write this Editorial giving a brief perspective on what the Editors and Reviewers want from the authors when they write a case report for JOCR. I shall cover the topic as per headings of the case report.

Title: the title of the case report should be descriptive and should contain broad details of the case. It should be appealing to the reader and should arose interest in the case report. A blanket title like ‘Aneurysmal bone cyst of calcaneum: a rare case report’ should be written in a more descriptive terms like 'Curettage and bone grafting for aneurysmal bone cyst of calcaneum in a young woman: Surgical decision making and outcome”

Abstract: a structured abstract is needed as per JOCR guidelines. The introduction part of abstract should clearly mention why the case is reported. The case report part should contain the salient features of the case and conclusions part should contain all the important learning points from the case. Keywords are essential and if possible do format them according to medical subject heading (Mesh) terminology from pubmed.

Introduction: Many authors try to give introduction of the disease, for example if they are describing a case of admantinoma, they try to write an introduction to admantinoma on a whole. This should not be done and introduction should be very specific. If your case is pathological fracture of tibia secondary to admantinoma, the introduction should start with pathological fractures in admantinoma and then move ahead. The purpose of introduction is to introduce the premise of your case and not to introduce the disease or pathology. The introduction should further clearly justify why you wish to report this case and to do this it should include a review of all similar cases reported in literature. I shall personally recommend all authors to include a table of literature review in introduction with details of patient demography, treatment method and results. The last line of introduction should mention, in unambiguous words, why the reported case is important and why the reader should read any further. Use references to justify every sentence in introduction and provide recent literature in review.

Case Report: Make this section succinate but at the same time include all relevant details. Describe everything in chronological manner. Provide detail description of history, symptoms and clinical findings. Include relevant pathological investigation. Discuss the differential diagnosis here in case report and what procedures were carried out to differentiate the said disease from other differentials. Some authors take it for granted that the reader is accepting the diagnosis and do not discuss the complete methodology for arriving on the diagnosis. I will request all authors to clearly describe the method of differential diagnosis and if possible include a flow chart. Describe the radiograph and other radiological investigations in details with figure numbers. Especially in MRI scans describe the T1 and T2 and other special frames in details and what exactly is seen in it [possibly with references]. The final decision about the management of the case should also be rationalized here. Details about clinical decision making concepts should be provided here and if possible in form of a flow chart. Again at times special implants or equipment’s are planned for surgery and these too should be included here. The surgical part of the case report should be described in great details along with approach, exposure and wherever possible intraoperative photographs should be included. Surgical tips and pearls will be very important and can be included in a small box. Any special improvisation required during surgery or any significant observation or event during surgery should be mentioned. Post-operative protocol should be provided in brief with details of radiographic assessment if applicable. At follow up the functional status of the patient should be mentioned in details along with clinical photographs. If serial follow ups are available, details can be included in a table. Complications or any other specific observations should be mentioned at the end of case report.

Discussion: This part is meant to put the current report in context with the literature. The literature review table in the introduction should be used here. The comparison can begin with demography and patient characteristics and should also include the intra-operative details and results. The peculiarity of the case should be discussed in details and important learning points should be backed with literature support. Differential diagnosis and different clinical management protocols can be discussed here with reference to the reported case. Approach to surgery and complications or potential complications should be discussed with rationalization on why certain approach was used or how a certain complication can be avoided. Focus on points that you find are different in your case as per literature but also cover the points that are common with literature. The end of the discussion should include a conclusion where all learning points should be included. This is followed by clinical message where clinical application of the learning points should be mentioned in one sentence.

References: Standard format of references is applicable can be directly taken from pubmed. Please include all recent references and a maximum of 25 -30 references can be included in case the literature review has more reports.

Figures / Legends: Provide good quality photographs of all picture separately [and not embedded in the word file] and provide legend for each photograph separately. Legends should be provided for every figure and table and should be more descriptive to help the reader understand the figures / tables without referring the manuscript

General comments: JOCR provides equal platform to evidence based medicine as well as personal experience and every case report should reflect both these important concepts. Both concepts i.e. the literature and personal experience have to be balanced and neither should be overdone. Write about practical concepts that can come to minds of readers and address them in your report. Place yourself in shoes of a reader who has a similar case. With this in mind provide details of differential diagnosis, clinical decision making and surgical procedure as if you are providing a blueprint for management of such cases. This may sound as a different concept to people who imagine case reports to be something rare or unusual to be reported. In JOCR the case report is also a case management blueprint where the case may not be unusual but the management may be different or the differentials may be confusing or surgical technique is improvised or a different unique learning point is seen in the case. Authors need to find these points in their case reports and highlight them. One major thing that should never be done is ‘Plagiarism’. I will request all authors to avoid plagiarism (copy and paste) from other journal articles at all cost. At JOCR we do use plagiarism check software and can easily detect plagiarized manuscript. Plagiarism will attract immediate rejection with blacklisting of authors for minimum 2 years.

I believe if these guidelines are followed, it will help authors to format good articles for JOCR. It will also help us editors and reviewers to make quick decisions and help facilitate publications. And most importantly it will help the reader to gain every bit of knowledge from the case and be confident that if such a case presents to them, they will be able to manage it appropriately. This will help in combining the concepts detailed in earlier four editorials which focused on creating a personalised journal [ 1 ], noting single observations [ 2 ] and combining wisdom of crowds [ 3 ] in creating avenues for pursuit of knowledge [ 4 ]. I will urge all authors to read all these past editorials along with present editorial [ 5 ] to have a complete idea of what is expected from them when they submit a case report.

JOCR is now well established and will further focus on improving the quality of articles and making it a more interesting read for our readers. Next whole year will focus on improving the quality of the journal and also making it more readable with the aim of making JOCR the most widely read journal in Orthopaedics.

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports Details

Evaluating scientific quality is a notoriously difficult problem that has no standard solution. Ideally, published scientific results should be inspected by real experts in the field and should be given scores for quality and quantity according to the rules established.

But it is now thrust upon committees and institutes which are trying to find alternatives to evaluate research using metrics like IF. The quality of scientific knowledge a journal contains and prestige of a journal is calculated using certain metrics and one such metric is Impact Factor . Impact Factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) is a measure of the number of times an average paper in a journal is cited, during a year. This number is released by Clarivate Analytics. They have complete control over this. Only the journals that are listed with Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) are eligible to get an Impact factor score.

The impact factor score is revealed by Clarivate analytics in their annually published Web of Science Journal Citation Report (JCR). The impact factor is a very important tool used by journals to show their value. It is usually used as a way to measure the relative importance of a journal within its field; journals that have higher impact factor values are considered to be more important or higher status. They are considered to be having more prestige in their respective fields, than those with lower values. It is used to ascertain the importance or rank of a journal by counting the times its articles were cited. In addition to the 2-year Impact Factor , the 3-year Impact Factor, 4-year Impact Factor, 5-year Impact Factor, Real-Time Impact Factor can also provide further insights into the impact of Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports .

The impact factor is pretty beneficial in explaining the importance of total citation frequencies. It also eliminates some of the bias of such counts which are in the favor of large journals over small ones, journals that are frequently issued over ones that are less frequently issued, and older journals over newer ones. Usually, in the latter case, older journals have a larger citable body of literature than smaller or younger journals due to the time they’ve spent in existence and thus have attained many texts of knowledge. All things being considered, the larger the number of previously published articles in a journal, the more frequently that particular journal will be cited.

The impact factor was coined by Eugene Garfield, who founded the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Impact factors have been calculated yearly starting from 1975 for journals that are listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). ISI was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992 and was renamed Thomson ISI. In 2018, Thomson ISI was bought up by Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia. Both of them founded a new corporation, Clarivate Analytics, which publishes JCR.

How Impact Factor is Calculated?

The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals that are indexed on the two indexes mentioned above. The impact factor is one of these tools used to rank and evaluate journals. It is the frequency with which an “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annually released JCR impact factor is a comprehensive numerical digit that represents the ratio among citations and recent citable items published during a particular period of time. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is evaluated by dividing the number of current year citations by the items published in that journal during the previous two years, thus connecting them. We know that the impact factor is a way to quantify the prestige of journals but in order to quantify it, we need to know how to calculate it.

The Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports IF measures the mean of citations obtained in a particular year 2022 by papers issued in the Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports during the two preceding years 2022

The calculation of the impact factor is seemingly easy. The entire calculation of the impact factor is based on a two-year period and consists of dividing the number of times that articles were cited by the number of articles that are citable. The method to calculate the impact factor of Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports is as follows.

A = citations in published articles in 2021 and 2022 by indexed journals during 2023.

B = the total number of citations published during 2021 and 2022.

A/B = 2022 impact factor

Some of the journals listed in the JCR aren’t citing journals, but are journals that are specifically for citations only. This is noteworthy when comparing journals by impact factor only because the self-citations from a cited-only journal are not included in the calculation procedure of its impact factor. Self-citations usually represent about 13% of the citations received by a journal.

A = citations in 2023 to articles published in 2021 and 2022

B = self-citations in 2023 to articles published in 2022 and 2021

C = A-B = total citations subtracted by self-citations

D = number of articles published in 2021-2022

E = C/D (revised impact factor)

Use of Impact Factor

Informed and careful use of the data of impact factor is crucial. Uninformed users might be tempted to jump to ill-formed conclusions based on impact factor statistics unless they’re properly made aware of several caveats involved. Impact factor has many uses some of them are prominent but they can be misused too. Since journal impact factors are easily available, it is enticing to use them to gauge the capabilities of individual scientists or research groups. If we assume that the journal is illustrative of its articles, the journal impact factors of an author’s articles can be used as a representative to get an objective understanding and quantitative measure of the author’s scientific achievements. This is much more effective for discerning a particular scientist’s or research group’s reputation than applying the traditional methods like peer-review.

Given how much the use of journal impact factors has been increasing as well as how explicitly journal prestige is being used in research evaluation, it warrants a critical examination of this indicator. The impact factor of Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports is a very big deal for it. We will discuss a few factors below.

Issues and limitations of Impact Factor

Decisions based on journal impact factors are potentially misleading where the uncertainty associated with the measure is ignored. Caution should be employed while interpreting journal impact factors and their ranks, and a measure of uncertainty should always be presented along with the point estimate. Journals should follow their guidelines for presenting data by including a measure of uncertainty when quoting performance indicators such as the journal impact factor. The impact factor should be used while being vigilant to the many circumstances that affect citation rates, for example, the average number of citations in an average article. The impact factor must be used with primed peer review. In the case of an academic evaluation for tenure, it is sometimes not considered appropriate to use the impact of the journal to calculate the expected frequency of a recently published article. Citation frequencies for individual articles are quite diverse.

Issues related to using impact factors

• Journal impact factors do not statistically illustrate individual journal articles
• Journal impact factors correspond terribly with real citations of individual articles
• Authors use plenty of norms other than impact when they’re submitting to journals
• Citations to “non-citable” items are sometimes incorrectly included in the database
• If Self-citations exist, they are not corrected
• Review articles are cited heavily and exaggerate the impact factor of journals
• Lengthy articles have many citations and get high impact factors
• Short publication time gap allows many short term journal self-citations and gives a fake high journal impact factor
• Journal’s authors usually prefer citations in the national language of the journal
• Selective journal self-citation
• The sweep of the database is incomplete
• The database doesn’t include books as a citation source
• There is an English language bias with the database
• American publications dominate the database
• Journal in a database may vary
• The impact factor is a function of the number of references per article in the research field
• Research fields in which the content becomes swiftly obsolete are endorsed
• The impact factor heavily depends on the extension or diminution of the field of research
• High impact journals are tough to find in small research fields
• The journal impact factor is strongly determined by relations between fields (clinical v basic research, for example)
• The citation rate of the article determines journal impact, but not vice versa which should be the case in the first place

Journal impact factors are indicative only when the evaluated research is absolutely standard concerning the journals used, an assumption that really makes any evaluation a bit excessive. In actual practice, however, even samples that are as huge as a nation’s scientific output are not at all random and indicative of the journals, that they have been published in. In many research fields such as mathematics, a major part of the intellectual output is usually published in the form of books, which are not considered a part of the database; therefore, they have no impact factor. This thus makes JCR redundant.

The IF of a journal such as Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports is not associated with factors like quality of the peer-review process and quality of the content of the journal but is rather a measure that reflects the average number of citations to articles published in journals, books, thesis, project reports, newspapers, conference/seminar proceedings, documents published in internet, notes, and any other approved documents. In an ideal world, evaluators would read each article and make personal judgments but it is not pragmatic. Clarivate itself receives 10+ million entries each year when calculating JIF so it's highly unlikely that it can be solved by conscientious peer review. Many of the limitations and issues listed above can be fixed with the right bit of tweaking, it however requires effort by both, Clarivate analytics and the general scientific community.
