The
above table compares the citation impact of journals in a
given field as measured over three different time spans. The
left-hand column ranks journals based on their 2005 "impact factor," as enumerated in the current
edition of the Thomson Scientific Journal
Citation Reports®.
The 2005
impact factor is calculated by taking the number of
all current citations to source items published in a journal
over the previous two years and dividing by the number of
articles published in the journal during the same period—in
other words, a ratio between citations and recent citable
items published. The rankings in the next two columns show
impact over longer time spans, based on figures from the Thomson Scientific
Journal
Performance Indicators. In these columns, total
citations to a journal's published papers are divided by the
total number of papers that the journal published, producing a
citations-per-paper impact score over a five-year period
(middle column) and a 26-year period (right-hand column).
