Someone really needs to create an alternative to impact factor that doesn't heavily bias in favor of long established paid journals. Elsevier and other such journal publishers rely on business models that drive up the cost of education, reduce access to knowledge, and skew the incentives of researchers - in short they make humanity collectively dumber and we all suffer for it. It would be in everyone's best interest for researchers to switch over to publishing in free journals, we'd be good, but that won't happen so long as the free journals are labelled inferior to the paid ones, and thus researchers are penalized for bucking the system.
