The previously-announced citation impact factor for JOIE turns out to be incorrect. A much higher corrected figure has now been published.
The citation impact factors published by Thomson-Reuters are one of the most important indicators of the visibility and engagement of a scientific journal.
There are two-year and five-year citation impact factors. The two-year impact factor for 2016 is calculated by looking at all the citations in 2016, from all Thomson-Reuters listed journals in all disciplines, of articles published in JOIE in 2014 and 2015. This number of 2016 citations is then divided by the total number of articles published in JOIE in 2014 and 2015.
The 2016 five-year impact factor is similarly calculated, by addressing all articles published in JOIE in the period 2011-2015. The 5-year impact factor for JOIE in 2016 is 1.695.
JOIE currently ranks 84th out of 347 journals in the Economics JCR in Clarivate Analytics.
This figure shows the impact Factor trend over the last five years
