The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Plant Physiology 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 Plant Physiology?
Plant Physiology is the 10th out of 252 Botany journals. This means the journal is among the top 4% in the sub-discipline of Botany. This Journal is the 29th out of 409 Physiology journals. This means the journal is among the top 8% in the sub-discipline of Physiology. This Journal is the 36th out of 543 Genetics journals. This means the journal is among the top 7% in the sub-discipline of Genetics. This Journal is the 331st out of 5,258 Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 7% in the discipline of Biology. This Journal is the 475th out of 8,993 Life Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% in the science branch of Life 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.
