# Impact factor: Impact factor is commonly used to evaluate the relative importance of a journal within its field and to measure the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular time period. Journal which publishes more review articles will get highest IFs.

Yes. But personally I feel upset (as a mathematician) when people comparing (me) with other science discipline since The percentage of total citations occurring in the first two years after publication varies highly among disciplines from 1–3% in the mathematical and physical sciences to 5–8% in the biological sciences and other. Thus impact factors cannot be used to compare journals across disciplines. Impact factors are sometimes used to evaluate not only the journals but the papers therein, thereby devaluing papers in certain subjects.

Dear Mahammad Khuddush,

A lot of thanks to you for your nice contribution. Really you have given the answer nicely with proper justifications. I am also agree with you that it is not wise to compare between two different discipline based on impact factor. Thank you for your nice information.

It is interesting to make me realize this concern dear fellow Mahammad Khuddush. Thank you for raising this issue Mr. M. D.H. Prodhan

Dear Alaa A. A Aljabali,

I am very much pleased to appreciate you that you have given the answer correctly with detailed descriptions. Really, you have addressed all the related issues of Impact factor. In the mean time, you have provided the link, which will be very much helpful for the RG members. Thank you my dear..

The IF estimated by Clarivate analytics (previously it was Thomson Reuters) are well accepted. However, Sometimes I have seen that several open access journals declared their website that their journal have high IF, and also they have written the vale of IF. But, this IF are not estimated by Clarivate analytics. Do you have any idea on this.

Dear Mahammad Khuddush one should not bother about IF. Being consistent and publishing as much as it is practical is better than wasting ur time in finding top tire journal.

Dear Ronald Valledor Gomeseria,

Thank you so much for following the answer made by the valued RG members as well as providing yoyr valuable recommendations.

we depend on Scopus & quartile indexing in addition to Thompson ISI at our institute. IF is not a major factor.

The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years

The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a scientometric index calculated by Clarivate that reflects the yearly average number of citations that articles published in the last two years in a given journal received. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field; journals with higher impact factors are often deemed to be more important than those with lower ones.

Yes your point and view is correct.

Apart from Impact factor, Elsevier had recently launched Scopus cite score for all Scopus indexed journals and u can track the citescore of a journal realtime. It is more transparent than IF which is calculated only by clarivate analytics.

The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published.

Dear Md. Abdur Razzak Choudhury,

A lot of thanks to you for your nice and informative discussion. I am pleased to read your answer as you have mentioned the answer correctly.

Measure of journal impact

Of course, IF measured the number of citation in one research paper.

I agree with Dr. Md. Abdur Razzak Choudhury, there is a limitation in this index.

Thank you so much,

Dear Abdul Hei

I feel proud to express my deepest and endless gratitude to you for your fruitful contributions and recommendations as well as to inspire me. Thank you so much.

Dear Bara Mouslim

Thank you so much for your contributions. I do believe that your contributions and discussions will be very much helpful for me as well as others RG members. Really Thank you so much.

@ Abdul Hei, I associate with your responses. The impact factor (IF) of a journal is the ratio of frequency at which the papers published in a journal are cited over a period. So the more the papers in a journal are cited, the higher the journal's IF after calculation.
