Impact Factors

ESC journals 2023 - Impact Factors released in June 2024

The Impact Factor (IF) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher Impact Factors deemed to be more important than those with lower ones. The Impact Factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. Impact Factors are calculated yearly for those journals that are indexed in the Journal Citation Reports.


The 2011 to 2023 Impact Factors are listed below for each of our qualifying journals.
