CiteScore is calculated on an annual basis, showing the average citations for calendar year and Impact Factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations in year by the total number of articles published in the two previous years.

@Sohel S Shaikh, Thanks for your explanation of the Impact Factor. I doubted that was the real world application impact.

The real world impact is more acceptable and feasible to me and many clinics as a health care giver. Such as treating the Alzheimer patients, besides drugs, western medicine uses electric shock or a brain pacemaker. I proposed magnet therapy that helps more head issues. That is a low cost and safer approach to treating Alzheimer patients without high risks to the patients.

However, I do not work in an academic research institute. To me, grant writing, submit to formal journals is far away. I submitted to journals two or three times and all got rejected. I stopped to waste my time to write. I can post on my website to benefit the people, especially to educate the general publics to avoid illnesses that make more sense to me. Grant writing takes the time to get familiar with.

The short cut for me is to find partners to do research with me. I use clinical successful case to expand it to the large number clinical trial and I also can supply the Chinese medicine theory explanations in a simple and easier understand way.

Thank you colleagues for your kind contributions.

There are two methodological differences from the Impact Factor, relating to the numerator (A) and denominator (B) of the calculation. Let’s consider CiteScore 2015 for Forensic Science International.

For both CiteScore and Impact Factor, the numerator, A, is the number of citations received by Forensic Science International in 2015, but:

For CiteScore, A is the number of citations received in 2015 by any of the content it published in the 3 previous years, 2012, 2013 and 2014

For the Impact Factor, A is the number of citations received in 2015 by any of the content it published in the 2 previous years, 2013 and 2014. There is also a version of the Impact Factor which considers content in the previous 5 years. A detailed discussion of the Impact Factor numerator is available here

Dear @Emad, new resource about Cite Score Metrics!

Transparent, timely and newly improved: making CiteScore work for you!

One of the hallmarks of CiteScore is its transparency: both the calculation behind the score and the data used are freely available to anyone. This clarity is welcomed by its users who are not only able to see what the calculation is for a journal but also, for example, which exact articles are most responsible for the score and which papers haven’t contributed towards the end result. Trust has therefore built up in the system and this perhaps explains why indicators of awareness of this young metric, even at this early stage, are very encouraging...

https://www.elsevier.com/connect/editors-update/transparent,-timely-and-newly-improved-making-citescore-work-for-you?utm_campaign=63150_Editors%27%20Update_Sept2017temp&utm_campaignPK=473657992&utm_term=OP38795&utm_content=473657999&utm_source=22&BID=1290791684&utm_medium=email&SIS_ID=0

CiteScore is the ratio of citations received in last three years in Scopus registered journals/conferences divided by the documents published by a journal in last three years. This is similar to the Impact Factor except the fact that it takes the basis as Scopus registered journals/conferences. The Impact Factor is computed at two levels 3 year and 5 year.

.

Scopus have explanation videos for how cite score works in the following link

Don’t speculate—validate. Let CiteScore™ metrics guide you to the right journals.

The CiteScore 2017 values are here! Establishing a new standard for measuring serial citation impact, CiteScore™ metrics are freely available for more than 23,350 titles — 12,000 more titles than the leading competitor.

Interesting

Thank you for the clarification.

Thank you for the clarification.

Cite score is directly proportional to impact factor. If the cite score is high then the near about the impact factor is same.

Major difference between CiteScore and Impact Factor:

• CiteScore calculation is based on Scopus data, while Impact Factor is based on Web of Science data.
• CiteScore uses a 3-year window while Impact Factor adopts a 2-year window.
• CiteScore includes all document types indexed by Scopus, include articles, reviews, letters, notes, editorials, conference papers, etc. while Impact Factor only includes "citable documents" which are articles and reviews.

Dear Noor Abbood , you should cite the resource copied. Otherwise, it is plagiarism!!! Bad practice! Link follows!

Major difference between CiteScore and Journal Impact Factor:

• CiteScore calculation is based on Scopus data, while Impact Factor is based on Web of Science data.
• CiteScore uses a 3-year window while Impact Factor adopts a 2-year window.
• CiteScore includes all document types indexed by Scopus, include articles, reviews, letters, notes, editorials, conference papers, etc. while Impact Factor only includes "citable documents" which are articles and reviews.

CiteScore sets a focus on citations. Impact Factor deals more with 'prestige' of the journals that depends of many factors. However, they both correlate, as there is a close connection between the CiteScore and Impact Factor.

Dear Abbas Najim , do not practice plagiarism and read previous contributions. If you were reading it, than you should see the same plagiarism that was made by Noor Abbood . This is research portal and research question!!!

Thank you so much for the valuable answers... Said to be truth, I had no idea about the differences between the citescore and the impact factor. Now, it is clear to me.

Impact factor depends on the cite score. If the cite score is high the impact factor will be high.

impact factor not always constant with time but depend on how much read and share with researcher

Article Differences and similarities between Journal Impact Factor a...

Based on the above definition, I dont understand why the CiteScore of Materials Today is 6.8, whereas its Impact Factor is 24.5. Why they are so different, if the only difference in calculation is the window of calculations (3 vs 2 years) and the database (Scopus vs Web of Science)? Something does not add up here.

New citescore for 2018 just has been released: Interesting to see the evolution of journal. as always, journals from ACS and Elsevier have an important increasing of citescore. https://www.scopus.com/sources.uri?zone=TopNavBar&origin=sourceinfo

Thank you very much my colleagues for your valuable comments....

Abbas Najim has given point wise and summarized difference between CiteScore and Impact Factor of the Journals.

Dear Awanish Kumar , he did not make his contribution, but he has done plagiarism. You should read previous posts.
