Table 3. Correlations Among 1-year N-pact Factors, 5-year N-pact Factors, and Citation Impact Factors across the Six Journals Studied.

2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 NF-5
2006 1.00
2007 .61 1.00
2008 .55 .79 1.00
2009 .78 .95 .88 1.00
2010 .75 .87 .94 .96 1.00
NF-5 .82 .91 .90 .99 .98 1.00
IF −.46 −.25 −.57 −.40 −.49 −.48

Note. The upper matrix represents the stability of rank ordering of journal's 1-year N-pact Factors (NFs) from 2006–2010. The lower rows represent the correlations among NFs in any one year and the NF-5 and the citation Impact Factors (IF) of journals.
