The final estimated model showed a high determination coefficient (99.3%) and its performance was tested on a new set of journals randomly sampled from the list of journal citation reports.}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Journal impact factor}, keywords = {Multiple regression}, keywords = {Longitudinal parameters}, keywords = {ICMJE}, title = {A mixed longitudinal and cross-sectional model to forecast the journal impact factor in the field of Dentistry}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-018-2801-z}, author = {Valderrama Baca, María Pilar and Escabias Machuca, Manuel and Jiménez Contreras, Evaristo and Valderrama Bonnet, Mariano José and Baca García, María Pilar}, }
