The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Physica Scripta 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 Scripta?
Physica Scripta is the 10th out of 108 Mathematical Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 10% in the sub-discipline of Mathematical Physics. This Journal is the 36th out of 160 Chemical Physics journals. This Journal is the 128th out of 428 Condensed Matter Physics journals. This Journal is the 220th out of 2,015 Mathematics journals. This means the journal is among the top 11% in the discipline of Mathematics. This Journal is the 386th out of 2,945 Formal Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% in the science branch of Formal Sciences. This Journal is the 442nd out of 2,084 Physics journals. This Journal is the 2260th out of 11,479 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.
