The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of BMC Biology 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.

This means the journal is among the top 4% in the sub-discipline of Ecology. This Journal is the 53rd out of 375 Cell Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 15% in the sub-discipline of Cell Biology. This Journal is the 281st out of 5,258 Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% in the discipline of Biology. This Journal is the 397th out of 8,993 Life Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 5% in the science branch of Life 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.
