Journal impact factors

Journal Citation Reports present a range of metrics based on citation and article counts.  The most import is the journal impact factor which enables journals in the same field to be evaluated and compared.  It is calculated for a particular target year with reference to the two previous census years.  Citations to articles  from the census years are counted in the target year.  This figure is divided by the number of articles in the census year to create an impact factor.  The higher the number, the more influence a journal is likely to have.

The Journal of Modern History has an impact factor in 2009 of 0.576 calculated thus:

Other metrics include the five year impact factor, which extends the census years; the immediacy index which looks at how quickly articles in the target year are cited in subsequent articles and Eigenfactor metrics which aim to measure total influence by the use of an algorithm which includes the journal ranking factor but excludes journal self-citations.

Journal Impact Factor (JIF)

Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in journals, books, patent document, thesis, project reports, news papers, conference/ seminar proceedings, documents published in internet, notes and any other approved documents. It is measure the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals of higher journal impact factors deemed to be more important than those with lower ones. Journal Impact factors are calculated in yearly/half- yearly/ Quarterly/Monthly for those journals that are indexed in Journal Reference Reports (JRR).

Journal Citation Report (JCR) is a tool to evaluate scholarly journals in science and social sciences. With JCR you have the ability to rank journals by impact factor.
