It reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published inàscience and social science journals in a particular year or period, and is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. It is first devised byàEugene Garfield, the founder of theàInstitute for Scientific Information. The impact factor of a journal is evaluated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.
