How Influential is Empirical Software Engineering?
Empirical Software Engineering is the 170th out of 736 Software Engineering journals. This Journal is the 936th out of 4,401 Applied Sciences journals. 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.
