Metrics Definitions
- Impact Factor (Clarivate): Defined as the ratio between the number of citations received in that year for publications in that journal that were published in the two preceding years, and the total number of "citable items" published in that journal during the two preceding years.
- Five-year Impact Factor (Clarivate): Same as the 2-yr Impact Factor above, but over a 5-yr period.
- Cited Half Life (Clarivate):The median age of citations received by a journal during the year. A cited half life of 4 means the median age of the citations is 4 years (half are to items newer than 4 years and half are older).
- SCImago Journal Rank (Scopus): This is a measure of journal prestige that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the prestige of the journals where the citations come from. It is defined as the average number of weighted citations received during a selected year per document published in that journal during the previous three years. It compensates for differences in field, type, and age, with a meaningful benchmark built in (1 is average for a subject).
