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 Mineralogy and Petrology?
Mineralogy and Petrology is the 12th out of 28 Mineralogy journals. This Journal is the 50th out of 133 Geophysics journals. This Journal is the 131st out of 509 Geology journals. This Journal is the 278th out of 1,091 Earth Science journals. This Journal is the 722nd out of 2,084 Physics journals. This Journal is the 3499th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals.
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.
