About Journal Impact Factors
Journal impact factors are found in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). JCR is a unique database which is used to determine the relative influence of journals within their subject categories.
An impact factor is one of the metrics to measure the quality of a journal. This is calculated by the number of citations received by the journal, from other journals within the Web of Science database.
