2014 impact factor = A/B

A = 2014 cites of articles published in 2012 and 2013.B = the total number of "citable items" published in 2012 and 2013.

(…) quando uma figuraSe nos mostra no ar, robusta e válida,De disforme e grandíssima estatura;O rosto carregado, a barba esquálida,Os olhos encovados, e a posturaMedonha e má e a cor terrena e pálida;Cheios de terra e crespos os cabelos,A boca negra, os dentes amarelos.Tão grande era de membros, que bem possoCertificar-te que este era o segundoDe Rodes estranhíssimo Colosso,Que um dos sete milagres foi do mundo.Cum tom de voz nos fala, horrendo e grosso,Que pareceu sair do mar profundo.Arrepiam-se as carnes e o cabelo,A mi e a todos, só de ouvi-lo e vê-lo! (…)
