importance of a journal to its field

For some strange reasons, lot of visitors found this site while they were looking for the impact factor of Genes and Development magazine. Of course, I wish to help them but actually I can not disclosure any real IF, since Journal Impact Factor is copyrighted from Journal Citation Report (JCR), a product of Thomson ISI.

OK guys, if it's enough for you, just mind that Genes & Development IF is roughly half of Nature IF, and roughly the double of Development.

Do you think a blogger can influence the impact of scientific papers? I had some thougths here, and here.

Well, journals write the IF on their webpages, so they can be disclosed.
I guess the problem would be if you attach the full list of IF, but if you write down one or two that falls into fair use IMHO.
