Impact factors (both at the author and journal levels) rely heavily on citation indices which, understandably, favor Western authors. Of course, impact factors are used heavily in research funding decisions. Creative solutions are explored in this paper for Asian countries experiencing these problems. Keywords: journal metrics, impact factor, citation indices. }, number={1}, journal={JÉ«»¨ÌÃÂÛ̳ Institutional É«»¨ÌÃÂÛ̳}, year={2013}, month={Jan.}, pages={1–8} }
