Journal Metrics
1. Google-based Journal Impact Factor (2025): 1.22
The journal impact factor (JIF) normally referred to is the proprietary journal impact factor from Thomson Reuters calculated based on the Web of Science (WOS) and published in the Journal Citation Reports® (JCR). Although this journal has no JCR®JIF, it an alternative Google-based impact factor.
Today, most of readers find their way to our articles via Google Scholar. No open or proprietary database is directing so many readers to our articles. Google Scholar is the only openly available database suitable for journal metric calculation. It has a wide coverage and is a meaningful source. For this reason, Sciedu Press is calculating its own Impact Factor based on Google Scholar's citation counts. Scientists are used to Thomson Reuters' way of calculating an impact factor. For this reason, Sciedu Press applies Thomson Reuters'(TR) algorithm as published on https://clarivate.com/essays/impact-factor/ in Figure 1.
The 2025 Google-based impact factor of this journal is calculated as follows:
A = total cites in 2025 = 656
B = 2025 cites to articles published in 2023-24 = 148 (this is a subset of A)
C = number of articles published in 2023-24 = 121
D = B/C = 2025 Impact Factor = 148/121 = 1.22 (Based on Google citations)
2. h-index: 64
h-index is the largest number h such that h publications have at least h citations.
The data was calculated based on Google Scholar Citations
3. i10-index: 285
