Ali Daud Clavirate Analytics is the organization maintaining the Impact Factor of journals all over the world. They use a single set of 28 criteria to evaluate journals; these are divided into 24 quality criteria designed to select for editorial rigour and best practice at the journal level, and four impact criteria designed to select the most influential journals in their respective fields using citation activity as the primary indicator of impact.
Journals that meet the quality criteria enter the Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI). Journals that meet the additional impact criteria enter Science Citation Index Expanded™ (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index™ (SSCI) or Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) depending on their subject area.
