Warm greetings to all IEEExtreme Participants from the Xplore API Team!

As part of the IEEExtreme Competition, you will be tasked with a programming challenge
to determine the Impact Factor of an academic journal. The input content file of this
exercise is static (non changing) to allow for consistent results during this competition.

For a full dynamic database search IEEE Xplore API is available for your IEEE research
needs. Xplore API provides metadata on 4.9mm academic works and is now delivering
full-text content on 50k 'Open Access' articles. Xplore API will make your research needs
fast and easy. The Xplore API Portal supports PHP, Python and Java as well as providing
output in Json and XML formats. Many API use cases are listed within the API Portal.

Challenge
The impact factor (IF) of an academic journal is a scientometric index which reflects the
yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. In any
given year, the impact factor of a journal is the number of citations, received in that year,
of articles published in that journal during the two preceding years, divided by the total
number of citable items published in that journal during the two preceding years:

\mathrm{IF}_y = \dfrac{\mathrm{Citations}_{y-1} + \mathrm{Citations}_{y-2}}

Standard input

1/4
The first line is the number of records to process. The second line is the publications to
be included in the report. The publicationNumber is the unique key to identify the
publication. The publicationTitle is the title of the publication. The articleCounts array
contains the year and articleCount for that year and publication.

The subsequent lines are JSON packets containing citations for random publications. The
paperCitations contains an array, called ieee, with information about the cited papers.
The publicationNumber in the array is the publication number of the publication the
cited article appears in. The year is the year the article was published.

Standard output
List the publication title and its Impact Factor. Order by descending Impact Factor.
Format the output with one journal name per line and with the name and the score (with
two decimal places) separated by a colon. Example: Letters on IEEEXtreme: 1.78

In case multiple publications have the same impact factor, print them in alphanumerical
order.
