  The Journal Impact Factor is a calculated “measure of the frequency with which the average article in journal has been cited in a particular year,” helpful in evaluating a journal’s relative importance in its field. The impact factor “is calculated by dividing the number of current citations to articles published in the two previous years by the total number of articles published in the two previous years.” (JCR CD).

  Journal Impact Factors presented here are from the 2004 edition of the Journal Citation Reports®. Current Impact Factors, along with other “journal performance metrics,” including immediacy index, and cited half-life are available at the Journal Citation Reports® on the Web (JCR)
