Impact factor formula

In short, if there is a journal named "The Lancet,"

and "The Lancet" published a total of 10 peer-reviewed scholarly research papers in the last 2 years,

and the average citation for each scientific research paper is 50 (meaning every article received 50 citations),

then the Impact Factor of the journal will be 50/10 = 5.

Impact factor is one of the best methods to analyze the quality of any scholarly peer-reviewed journal.

A higher impact factor indicates that a scientific journal is considered a high-quality publication and is among the best and leading journals in its field.
