JCI Insight began publication in 2016 and will receive its first Impact Factor in mid-2019. Journal Citation Reports, published annually, provides Impact Factors based on the following calculation:
2019 Impact Factor =
2018 citations to articles published in 2016 and 2017
Citable items published in 2016 and 2017
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.
Citation information for specific JCI Insight articles is available through various sources:
