How is the impact factor of a journal calculated?

The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations in a given year to articles published in the previous two years by the total number of articles published in those two years.

Can you give me an example of this calculation?

MagicBuddy

Sure! If a journal published 100 articles in 2021 and 2022, and those articles received 300 citations in 2023, the impact factor would be 300/100 = 3.0.

A higher impact factor generally indicates that the journal's articles are cited more frequently, suggesting greater influence in the field.

Are there any limitations to using impact factor as a measure?

Yes, impact factor can be misleading as it doesn't account for the quality of citations or the context in which articles are cited.
