The standard of a research journal is decided on the impact factor.

Key Points

  • The impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations received by articles published in the journal in the two preceding years by the total number of articles published in the journal in those two years.
  • The impact factor is a widely used metric for assessing the quality of research journals. Journals with higher impact factors are generally considered to be more prestigious and publish higher-quality research.

The other options are not as important in determining the standard of a research journal:

 Additional Information

  • The publisher of a journal is not a reliable indicator of its quality. Some high-quality journals are published by small, independent publishers.
  • Citation indexes are databases that track citations between scholarly publications. They can be used to identify articles that have been cited frequently by other researchers. However, citation indexes do not take into account the quality of the citations.
  • Printing of the journal is not a reliable indicator of its quality. Some high-quality journals are published online only.
