Impact Factor Calculator

Your details

The 2-year Impact Factor is the standard metric published by Clarivate. The 5-year version suits slow-citation disciplines. The Immediacy Index measures how quickly articles are cited within their publication year.
Impact factors vary widely by field. Select the closest discipline to see how your result compares against typical Q1 and Q2 thresholds.
Total number of times any content published in this journal was cited by Web of Science indexed journals during the target year. Includes citations to articles published in the two preceding years only.
citations
Count of original research articles and reviews published in the year immediately before the target year. Editorials, letters, and corrections are excluded from this count.
articles
Count of original research articles and reviews published two years before the target year.

2-Year Impact Factor: 5.830

  • Each citable article in the measurement window was cited an average of 5.830 times during the target year.
  • In General / Unknown Field, Q1 journals typically have an IF above 5 and Q2 journals above 2.5. This result places the journal in Q1 (top 25%).
  • Impact factors are discipline-specific and should never be used to compare journals in different fields or to evaluate individual researchers.

Next stepFor slow-citation disciplines such as mathematics or humanities, the 5-year impact factor is often a more representative measure. Try switching modes above.
