WEB OF SCIENCE If a journal is in Web of Science, it means it should have Impact Factor & vice versa. Don’t confuse Web of Sciences Journals with ISI Master list Journals !
THE JOURNAL IMPACT FACTOR The Journal Impact Factor is calculated for those journals only which are indexed & included in Web of Sciences Databases, NOT more ! The database which contain the Journal Impact Factors is Journal Citation Report abbreviated JCR.
WHAT IS JOURNAL IMPACT FACTOR? The average citation frequency for articles published in a journal, or how many times, on average, during the study year the articles that appeared in the 2 preceding years of that journal received citations in other (ISI) indexed journals only.
IMPACT FACTOR CALCULATION Citations in the current JCR year to articles published in the previous two years divided by the number of articles published in the previous two years. IF 2015= Citations to articles published in 2013 + 2014 Total 2013 + 2014 Papers
Immediacy Index 2015 2013 2014 All Previous Years Impact Factor Cited ½ Life Citation Source paper – published in 2015 Cited reference – published in 2013 or 2014
HOW TO FIND IMPACT FACTORS? Directly from Journal Citation Report Database through ISI.
HOW TO CALCULATE THE H-INDEX? You can calculate the h-index through the following citation databases: Web of Science Scopus Google Scholar
