人们普遍认为，科学期刊《天文学与天体物理学》（A&A）的影响力比其他一些主要的天文学期刊要小。这一印象得到了科学信息研究所（ISI）Web of Knowledge每年编制的期刊引用报告（JCR）的支持，也可能是它造成的。公布的A&A的不良影响因素实际上是错误的，这是由于ISI确定该因素的方法存在严重缺陷。JCR对A&A造成的损害是无法估量的。
There is a widespread impression that the scientific journalAstronomy & Astrophysics(A&A) has a smaller impact than some of the other major astronomical journals. This impression was supported — and probably created — by theJournal Citation Report(JCR), which is prepared annually by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Knowledge. The published poor impact factor of A&A was in fact wrong and was due to a serious flaw in the method used by ISI to determine it. The resulting damage inflicted upon A&A by the JCR is incalculable.
