I do believe if one keeps busy it's very good for a person.

Never try to walk across a river just because it has an average depth of four feet.
It is common, and encouraged by many journals, for research to be judged by the impact factor of the journal that publishes it. But as a journal's score is an average, it says little about the quality of any individual piece of research.
