I remember a long-ago study that showed the journals with the highest IFs had both (a) very, very few articles with no citations and (b) more than one article a year that got heavily cited.
Studies of citation frequency show that review articles typically do well, the first article in an issue (a little), Big Name Authors (& Big Name Schools), and articles that get frequently co-cited with other frequently-cited items.
In some fields, they also calculate an average h-index for the authors published but that is more of a prestige factor. But it makes me wonder... why do we care?
will my article be cited more if published in JBV or does JBV look good because it published highly-citable articles?
Intriguing discussion!

Thanks for Per's interesting note... very interesting actually.
I did want to make clear that I am not knocking the IEMJ. From what I can see, its high first-out JIF is based on several articles with a goodly number of citations, not just one or two outliers.
