The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Physical Review A 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 A?
Physical Review A is the 1st out of 6 Statistical Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 17% in the sub-discipline of Statistical Physics. This Journal is the 14th out of 62 Nuclear Physics journals. This Journal is the 34th out of 160 Chemical Physics journals. This Journal is the 423rd out of 2,084 Physics journals. This Journal is the 2155th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 19% 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.
