9. According to Bizzell and Herzberg, the philosophers of the Enlightenment "reconsidered the source and status of knowledge, paying particular attention to the psychological processes of perception, reflection, and communication in an attempt to determine how it was possible to discover the truths within the physical world that were so important for science's progress" (p. 504).

According to Thomson Scientific, the company that publishes Journal Citation Reports (JCR), impact factors work as follows: "The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the 'average article' in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years," http://scientific.thomson.com/free/essays/journalcitationreports/impactfactor/ (accessed March 31, 2006).
