How do I find the impact factor of a journal?

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) provides ranking for journals in the areas of science, technology, and social sciences. They also calculate journal Impact Factor, the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the Journal Citation Reports year. This measure is a frequently used indicator as to the significance and influence of the journal in its field. Please note that the Library does not currently subscribe Journal Citation Reports. Please check with your local public or academic library to access them.

While the Library does not subscribe to Journal Citation Reports (JCR), there are some databases which provide impact factor for their published journals. See the Scholarly Publication Guide for instructions on how to find impact factor in the Library and online.
