Impact Factor vs Citations This Year to Articles in Window
Formula
How Journal Impact Factor is Calculated
The impact factor (IF) measures how frequently articles from a journal are cited.
Formula
IF = Citations in Current Year to Articles Published in Prior Window / Total Articles in Window
The standard window is 2 years. A journal that published 80 articles in 2 years and received 320 citations to those articles has an IF of 4.0.

Domande Frequenti
Who calculates official impact factors?
Clarivate Analytics calculates the official Journal Impact Factor (JIF) published in Journal Citation Reports.
Can impact factor be gamed?
Yes, through editorial self-citation, review articles, and publication timing. This is why multiple metrics should be used.
Is a higher impact factor always better?
Not necessarily. Niche fields have lower citation rates. A specialized journal with IF 2.0 may be top-tier in its field.
