Journal Impact Factor
Average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year
Impact Factor = Cites in 2012 to 2010 & 2011 articlesNo. of articles published in 2010 &2011
(2012)
A journal having an Impact Factor of 2.5 means on average, the articles published one or two year ago have been cited two and a half times
