The fact that there are on-line journals focusing solely on case reports, as Fariña-Pérez<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> points out, only shows that wherever is a safe market niche, there will be a trader willing to exploit it.

The higher the numerator (greater number of citations of the journal analyzed expressed in the two years prior to the one being analyzed) and the lower the denominator (lower number of source articles), the higher a factor corresponds.
