This means the journal is among the top 13% in the discipline of Earth Science. This Journal is the 397th out of 2,084 Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 20% in the discipline of Physics. This Journal is the 2049th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 18% 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.
