The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Solar Physics 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 Solar Physics?
Solar Physics is the 9th out of 47 Astrophysics journals. This means the journal is among the top 20% in the sub-discipline of Astrophysics. 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.
