Given that the impact factor is a shifty number, it is strange to me that it is still quoted all over the PLoS Biology pages. If it weren't a favourable number (closer to 3, as could be possible for PLoS Medicine), would it still get prominent placement on the site? At the very least, I think any reference to the impact factor of PLoS journals should link to that PLoS Medicine article.
