Journal Citation Reports, published annually, provides Impact Factors based on the following calculation:

We understand that a journal’s Impact Factor is important for a variety of reasons to many in its community of authors. We encourage all readers to prioritize a journal based on their own evaluation of the work it publishes, regardless of whether it has an Impact Factor or the actual value of that metric. Many different article types (such as research articles, reviews, and editorial material) are included in the Impact Factor calculation, making it an insufficient proxy by which to judge any single article in a journal’s curated collection.
