The last decade was very favorable for the Portuguese Journal of Cardiology, with its inclusion in the Web of Science Core Collection and with the attribution of a journal impact factor (IF) by Journal Citation Reports (JCR). This has meant a marked rise in its prestige and its consolidation as a journal of high scientific quality. However, stabilizing and raising our IF will only be possible if we understand what an IF means and how it can be improved.
