The impact factor of a scientific journal is a statistical tool to measure the number of times an author from the journal is cited by other authors. This is therefore, of great interest and importance to scientists, journal editors, authors and publishers. The escalating subscription costs and the obvious need of scientists to rely/refer journals with articles most cited, has given rise to this study
