The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Geophysics 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 Geophysics?
Geophysics is the 21st out of 133 Geophysics journals. This means the journal is among the top 16% in the sub-discipline of Geophysics. This Journal is the 155th out of 568 Energy journals. This Journal is the 341st out of 2,084 Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 17% in the discipline of Physics. This Journal is the 815th out of 4,401 Applied Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 19% in the science branch of Applied Sciences. This Journal is the 1768th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 16% 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.
