Impact Factor

The impact factor (IF) is a metric used to measure the average number of citations an article from a specific journal receives over a specific period of time (usually two or three years). It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the current year and the previous year by the total number of citable articles published in those two years.

Impact factor can be a useful tool for evaluating the relative importance of journals within a field, but it is not without limitations.

A journal's impact factor may not be a good indicator of the quality of a particular article.

There are other factors to consider when choosing a journal to submit your research to, such as the journal's scope, audience, and editorial review process.
