• Impact Factor (IF)

Impact factors give a quantitative measure of a journal’s influence and impact.
An Impact Factor gives the average number of times articles from a journal published 2 years that been cited in the Journal Citation Reports year.

E.g. The 2016 Impact Factor for a Journal:
A = the number of times articles published in 2014-2015 were cited
in indexed journals during 2016
B = the number of articles, reviews, proceedings or notes
published in 2014-2015

In a 2016 journal, the Impact Factor (IF) = A/B

Hence, a  2016 journal with an Impact Factor (IF) of say 7.123 means that on average, each of its 2013 and 2014  articles was cited 7.123 times in 2016.
