How to calculate the impact factor of a journal? What is it,s implication if the score is low.
How many is the certain journals have been cited by readers which record by indexes organization for instance Index Thomson . Low score means that journal never read or cited by someone.

This actually depends on several factors; Type of data. type of study design, and sampling technique. as well as testable hypothesis

IF is a relative term as Chrysi Bogiatzi has mentioned. The aim and wish of every scientist is that his/her article be read my readers of the specific interest. The wider circulation and high number of readers merit the journal [IF]. All scientists want to have their publications in Nature/Science/Lancet/PNAS. Let us think high and produce spectacular research findings. Lalitha Kabilan
