The aim of the study was to analyse the extent of influence ofjournals with high Impact Factor (IF) into the world's science development. The survey was performed using Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition 1998-2001 database. One hundred journals with the highest IF were extracted and Interjournal Impact Factor (IIF) was made for each of them. It was proved that--regardless of the field the journals belong to--their influence into the filed and other periodicals should not be evaluated according to their IF value. It has been established to evaluate the journals, not particular articles. That's why we should not change its application and use it to express an opinion on the publications and scientific workers.
本研究的目的是分析高影响因子（IF）期刊对世界科学发展的影响程度。该调查使用了《期刊引证报告/科学版》1998 - 2001数据库。提取了100种IF最高的期刊，并为每种期刊计算了期刊间影响因子（IIF）。结果证明，无论这些期刊所属领域如何，都不应根据其IF值来评估它们对该领域及其他期刊的影响。已经确定是对期刊进行评估，而非具体文章。这就是为什么我们不应改变其应用方式，并用它来对出版物和科研工作者发表意见。
