The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications 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 Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications?
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications is the 2nd out of 6 Statistical Mechanics journals. This Journal is the 82nd out of 551 Mechanics journals. This means the journal is among the top 15% in the sub-discipline of Mechanics. This Journal is the 91st out of 428 Condensed Matter Physics journals. This Journal is the 132nd out of 2,015 Mathematics journals. This means the journal is among the top 7% in the discipline of Mathematics. This Journal is the 247th out of 2,945 Formal Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 9% in the science branch of Formal Sciences. This Journal is the 310th out of 2,084 Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 15% in the discipline of Physics. This Journal is the 1604th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% 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.
