New GPEM impact factor

Very slightly down from the last two years but the differences don't seem particularly significant, especially since the number of citations is closer to the high end:

YearImpact FactorCitations*
20111.00091
20101.167102
20091.09158

It's an imperfect measure, to be sure, although worth keeping an eye on!
