Calculating and evaluating the impact factor of Europub journals

Example Calculation:

  • Suppose a journal has the following ratings:
  • Journal Characteristics: 0.80
  • Editorial Board Quality: 0.85
  • Article Quality: 0.90
  • Review Process: 0.80
  • Indexing and Databases: 0.75
  • Presentation and Accessibility: 0.70
  • Editage Services: 0.85
  • COPE Compliance: 0.90
  • Additional Considerations: 0.80

 

Weighted Scores Calculation:

  • Journal Characteristics: 0.20 × 0.80 = 0.16
  • Editorial Board Quality: 0.15 × 0.85 = 0.1275
  • Article Quality: 0.25 × 0.90 = 0.225
  • Review Process: 0.10 × 0.80 = 0.08
  • Indexing and Databases: 0.10 × 0.75 = 0.075
  • Presentation and Accessibility: 0.10 × 0.70 = 0.07
  • Editage Services: 0.05 × 0.85 = 0.0425
  • COPE Compliance: 0.05 × 0.90 = 0.045
  • Additional Considerations: 0.05 × 0.80 = 0.04

 

Total Impact Factor:

0.16 + 0.1275 + 0.225 + 0.08 + 0.075 + 0.07 + 0.0425 + 0.045 + 0.04 = 0.795
The final impact factor score, in this example, would be 0.795 (or 79.5%).
