The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Bioinformatics 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 Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is the 3rd out of 150 Computational Mathematics journals. This means the journal is among the top 2% in the sub-discipline of Computational Mathematics. This Journal is the 32nd out of 2,015 Mathematics journals. This means the journal is among the top 2% in the discipline of Mathematics. This Journal is the 50th out of 659 Biochemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 8% in the sub-discipline of Biochemistry. This Journal is the 57th out of 439 Molecular Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 13% in the sub-discipline of Molecular Biology. This Journal is the 66th out of 2,945 Formal Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 3% in the science branch of Formal Sciences. This Journal is the 288th out of 5,258 Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% in the discipline of Biology. This Journal is the 408th out of 8,993 Life Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 5% in the science branch of Life Sciences. This Journal is the 411st out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 4% 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.
