ISI IMPACT FACTOR 2023: 0.9 (as in JCR criteria)
ISI IMPACT FACTOR 2022: 0.585 (as in JCR criteria)
The impact score (IS) 2023 of International Healthcare Review (online) is 0.9, which is computed in 2023 as per its definition. The impact score (IS), also denoted as Journal impact score (JIS), of a scientific journal is a measure of the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It is based on a mixture of data extracted from Google Scholar, CrossRef and using the same methods as other scientific databases monitored by ISI including Scopus data.
Since its inception in June 2022 the International Healthcare Review (online) follows and adopts the principles of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which is a world-wide initiative designed to improve the ways in which the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated. We’re supporting responsible research assessment practices by rolling out a broader range of journal and article metrics publicly available, and helping authors gain deeper insights into the impact of their work.
ISI is the Journal's first assessment and is evaluated since the year of 2022. Other Assessments will be undertaken in the Future and published in the Journal's website.
Overall, Impact Factor (IF) is the average number of citations received by articles published in the journal within a two-year window. The large international publishers assume that only journals in the Clarivate Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) or Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) have an Impact Factor. However, other independent organizations also undertake the same evaluation and can attribute an indicative IF applying the same criteria. That is the case of ISI.
The International Healthcare Review (online) is a Signatory of DORA
DORA is the International Declaration and Guidance for Transparent and truthful assessment of Research Impact. It aims to combat the many falsified Impact Factor information disseminated by a large number of journals, including many published by the leading global publishers.
