Intellectual Property Rights-impact-factor

Property rights are rights given to people in addition to being created in their minds. Usually they give the manufacturer a special right over the use of their creations over a period of time. Writers' rights to literary and artistic works (such as books and other texts, songbooks, paintings, sculpture, computer programs and films) are protected by copyright, for a limited period of 50 years after the death of the author. It is also protected by copyright and related rights (sometimes referred to as "neighbor") human rights (e.g. actors, singers and musicians), producers of phonograms (sound recordings) and broadcasting organizations. The main social purpose of protecting patents and related rights is to encourage and reward creative work. The journal impact feature provides a comprehensive assessment tool for measuring, evaluating, sorting and comparing journals of the same type. It shows the average number of references in recent articles published in the journal of science and social science for a particular year or period, and is often used as a collateral for the equal importance of journals in its field. It is first introduced by Eugene Garfield, founder of the Institute for Science Information. The journal's impact is evaluated by dividing the number of current year estimates and source material published in that journal over the last two years.
