Recently I was trying to find a suitable Journal for our manuscript and could not find the IF of one of the Journals belonging to Springer, Journal of Health Informatics Research. When I try to search online health Informatic Journal usually pops up with impact factor 1.88 calculated in 2017. I would appreciate your help with this.
Can you write ISSN of that Journal, it will be easier to check IF...
Milena Cukic - Thank you for your question. To know the journal impact factor, you could either search the current version of the Journal Citation Report (JCR) published by Clarivate Analytics was known as The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). The second way is to look at the website of the journal. Then search for the section - About This Journal (Abstracted and Indexed In).
The second method is secure. Back to your question for that journal. The website address https://www.springer.com/journal/41666
Now go down the webpage to the section "About This Journal". This journal is indexed in "EBSCO Discovery Service, Google Scholar, INSPEC, Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China, Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST), OCLC WorldCat Discovery Service, ProQuest-ExLibris Primo, and ProQuest-ExLibris Summary."
There is no mention of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Therefore it is not listed and has no impact factor as per the Web of Science. Check Scopus. But this is a different citation system, and not all universities consider Scopus ranking or citations. It is usually the Web of Science. I hope this makes things clear to you.
I found this for ISSN
Electronic ISSN2509-498X
Print ISSN2509-4971
Someone I admire recommended this journal, but I would like to know more.
Samy Azer,
Thank you very much.
I suspected they do not have IF. Therefore I am not going to send my manuscript there.
Best regards
Thanks for ISSN, the reason why I asked is more clear now:
The name of journal is Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research, and I searched for Journal of Health Informatic Research.
However, I was not able to find any of them in a Excel file with InCites Journal Citation Reports (from june 2019). The reason for that may be very trivial. According to Springer (https://link.springer.com/journal/41666) that journal is Available 2017 - 2019, and we know how in that short period there is no possible to have IF for a journal...
BTW, in a case that you or anyone else want the same Excel file, it is available at:
