The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Physical Review E and its the corresponding percentile for the sake of comparison with the entire literature. Impact Factor is the most common scientometric index, which is defined by the number of citations of papers in two preceding years divided by the number of papers published in those years.
How Influential is Physical Review E?
Physical Review E is the 12th out of 108 Mathematical Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 12% in the sub-discipline of Mathematical Physics. This Journal is the 135th out of 428 Condensed Matter Physics journals. This Journal is the 237th out of 2,248 Mathematics journals. This means the journal is among the top 11% in the discipline of Mathematics. This Journal is the 410th out of 3,140 Formal Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% in the science branch of Formal Sciences. This Journal is the 468th out of 2,076 Physics journals. This Journal is the 2358th out of 12,155 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 20% in the science branch of Physical Sciences.
How are inpact factors calculated?
The impact factor (IF) is calculated by counting citations from peer-reviewed journals only.
extended IF also counts citations from books and conference papers. However, no patent, abstract, working papers, online documents, etc., are covered.
