Abstract
•ISIF is proposed for measuring journal's contribution to knowledge accumulation.•It appears that anomalies cannot happen anymore in the interpolated approach (ISIF).•The empirical study shows that ISIF gives rankings closer to some experts' opinions.
In a previous publication the journal sub-impact factor denoted as SIF, and derived sub-impact sequences have been introduced. Their calculation included a discrete step. Now we adapt this scheme to include an interpolation procedure. A mathematical proof is given showing that anomalies that may happen in the discrete approach cannot happen anymore in the interpolated approach.
