Shibabrata Pattanayak

There are many such IMPACT FACTORS.

Do not depend on them.

Hom Nath Chalise

Dear Shibabrata Pattanayak,

Thank you.

I generally get email saying submit your article IN A JOURNAL HAVING PIF 3 or more.....always get confused..

Thank you for your recommendation Question.

Willy Yee

The only authentic impact factor is the one listed by Thomson Reuters journal citation reports (JCR)

Thank you so much Dr Willy Yee

Subhash Babu

There are so many impact factors, a researcher should not depends on these factors and in my opinion PIF is not a alternative of TRJC. Focus should be given to publish the information in good journals
