Impact Factor

• TR calculates the a journals impact factor by
• dividing the number of citations made in 2008 to
  items published in the previous two years (2006
  2007) by the total number of articles reviews
  published in the previous two years

2226 540

Five-Year Impact Factor
Calculated similarly to the traditional Impact
Factor the number of citations in 2008 to
articles published in previous five years
(2003-2007) divided by the total number of
articles published in the previous five years
(2003-2007).

Eigenfactor MetricsTM EigenfactorTM and Article
InfluenceTMTo compliment Impact Factor and
other JCR metrics by providing a broader
perspective on Journal Influence through specific
measures now widely accepted by the scholarly
community.These metrics are developed through
The Eigenfactor Project -- a non-commercial
academic research project sponsored by the
Bergstrom lab in the Department of Biology at the
University of Washington. www.eigenfactor.org

EigenfactorTM Score
Journal Citation Reports

• Scholarly references join journals together in a
  vast network of citations. The Eigenfactor Score
  algorithm uses the structure of the entire
  network to evaluate the importance of each
  journal, cutting across all disciplines.
  Self-citations are excluded.
• This corresponds to a simple model of research in
  which readers follow chains of citations as they
  move from journal to journal.
• Eigenfactor calculations take into consideration
  a 5-year span of citation activity utilizing data
  from the Journal Citation Reports.
• Journals are considered to be influential if they
  are cited often by other influential journals.
