目的：确定从法语到英语的变化对《巴斯德研究所年鉴》的影响。理论参考：巴斯德研究所的期刊有超过100年的历史，有8位诺贝尔生理学和医学奖得主。这些期刊的影响随时间的变化可以监测，因为它们被列入科学信息研究所的数据库。方法：从1974年到1992年进行逐年分析，使用简单回归方法将英文发表的文章百分比与(i)其影响因子和（ii）其在同一领域期刊中的排名进行比较。结果：英文百分比与影响因子的总体决定系数为0.108。按系列计算，《微生物年鉴》的英文百分比与该期刊在同类出版物中的排名之间的系数系数为0.178，《免疫学年鉴》为0.045，《病毒学年鉴》为0.122。结论：语言的改变并没有增加法语期刊的影响因子，也没有提高其在同学科出版物中的排名。
Objective: to determine the effect that the change from French to English had on the impact of the Annales de l’Institut Pasteur . Theoretical reference: the Pasteur Institute journals have a prestige of over 100 years of existence and eight Nobel Prize winners in physiology and medicine. Changes through time on the impact of these journals can be monitored, as they are included in databases of the Institute for Scientific Information. Method: a year-by-year analysis from 1974 to 1992 was effected, using simple regression between percentage of articles published in English and (i) their impact factor and (ii) their ranking among journals of the same field. Results: the overall determination coefficient between the percentage in English and the impact factor was 0.108. By series, the coefficient factor between percentage in English and the journal’s rank among similar publications was 0.178 for Annales de Microbiologie , 0.045 for Annales d’Immunologie and 0.122 for Annales de Virologie . Conclusions: the change of language did not increase the impact factor of the French journals nor improve their ranking among publications of the same discipline.
