The Journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the two previous years. You can find impact factors by using the Journal Citation Reports. Select 'Search for a specific journal' option and click 'Submit': Choose a search option from the 'Search by' drop-down box: type full journal title or choose the title from the list of full journal titles link and click 'Search'. You can also search by 'abbreviated title' (see the examples below the search box): The result displays the information, including the impact factor: For more information about this journal click the journal name.
