Q: How can I see a journal's Impact Factors for the most highly cited articles?

Example: After identifying an article relating to "influenza" and "H1N1", you can examine the five-year Impact Factor trend to understand the journal performance metrics by linking from the Web of Science to Journal Citation Reports. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1
Go to Web of Science (http://isiknowledge.com/wos). Enter "Influenza" AND "H1N1" under search field Topic. Click Search button.
