Abstract

Eugene Garfield of Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) of Philadelphia, USA introduced Journal Impact Factor (IF) in 1960. The impact factor is calculated every year from 17000 science and social sciences journals indexed by ISI. The calculation of Impact factor is based upon citation of various papers published by that journal during the two previous years. It indicates how many times the papers published in a journal are cited by others in their articles [1].
