The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Progress in Optics 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 Progress in Optics?
Progress in Optics is the 6th out of 103 Optics journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% in the sub-discipline of Optics. This Journal is the 52nd out of 311 Physical Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 17% in the sub-discipline of Physical Chemistry. This Journal is the 178th out of 2,084 Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 9% in the discipline of Physics. This Journal is the 215th out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This means the journal is among the top 15% in the discipline of Materials Science. This Journal is the 357th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 964th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 9% 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.
