Interpolated sub-impact factor (SIF) sequences for journal rankings

Journal of Informetrics, 2015, vol. 9, issue 4, 907-914

Abstract: In a previous publication the journal sub-impact factor denoted as SIF, and derived sub-impact sequences have been introduced. Their calculation included a discrete step. Now we adapt this scheme to include an interpolation procedure. A mathematical proof is given showing that anomalies that may happen in the discrete approach cannot happen anymore in the interpolated approach.
