Zwischen Relevanz und Kritik: Der Journal Impact Factor in der Berufsbildungsforschung

Zusatztext

The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is a central but controversial metric in academia. This publication provides basic information on the topic of the JIF and also looks at its historical development. It also addresses the criticisms of the JIF. In addition to this overview, it presents the results of a BIBB survey on how the JIF is perceived in vocational education and training (VET) research. These results reveal an ambivalent attitude: while the JIF is acknowledged as important for reputation and career advancement, its significance as an indicator of the quality of individual works is critically questioned.
