Calculating Impact Factors
WHAT IS AN IMPACT FACTOR?
The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor helps you evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the current year to items published in the two previous years by the total number of items published in the two previous years.
| Cites in 2011 to items published in: | 2010 2009 Sum |
= 258 = 199 = 457 |
| Number of items published in: | 2010 2009 Sum |
= 116 = 71 = 187 |
| Calculation: | Cites to recent items | 457 | = 2.444 |
| Number of recent items | 187 |
The 2011 Impact Factor for Journal X is 2.444
