      abstract = {This article provides the history underlying the journal  impact factor and weaknesses of this
measure to evaluate  journal quality. The Eigenfactor and Article Influence  Scores are suggested as
an improved way to compare research  quality and impact across disciplines. The network  analysis
underlying the Eigenfactor approach suggests the  agricultural and natural resource economics
profession can  have a larger impact on the scientific community by  directing more research effort
towards interdisciplinary  work. The Article Influence approach is used to develop a  seven-tier
system to evaluate research quality, to be used  either to guide individual faculty about where to
publish  their research or to evaluate the research portfolio of a  department.},
