4. Impact factor in journal?
Impact Factor - What is it?; Why use it?
• The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the
frequency with which the average article in a
journal has been cited in a particular year. It is
used to measure the importance or rank of a
journal by calculating the times it's articles are
cited.
How Impact Factor is Calculated?
• IF = NO.OF CITATIONS/TOTAL
NO.ARTICLES

5. Calculation of IF of a journal:
• Cites in 2014 to items published in
2013 =58
•
2012=123
•
sum=181
• Number of items published in
2013=21
•
2012=12
•
sum=40
• IF=cites to recent item/number of
item published
• =181/40=4.525

6. Indexing:
• Indexation provide the recognition to the journal
about its authenticity in terms of its originality of
contents as well about its editorial board and
genuine publisher.
• Major citation indexing services:
• Elsevier's Scopus, web of sciences, Indian
citation index.

7. Volume and Issues
• Volume: typically refers to the number of
years
• the publications has been circulated.
• Issues: refers to how many times that
periodical
• has been publishes during that year.
• E.g the April 2011 publication of monthly
• magazine first published in 2002 would be

8. scope in journal?
Scope definition :
• In general “Area of Interest or Domain”.
• The scope how the journal will accomplish
the aim.
• It is the process whereby a project is defined
and prepared for execution. It helps to decide
on whether or not to proceed with the
project.

9. Levels and Proceedings
• Levels: are defined in conference paper as A, B
and C.
• Proceedings:
A conference proceeding is the published record
of a conference. Proceedings are collection of
paper presented at a conference and printed later.

10. H.INDEX:
It reflects both the number of publications and the number of citation
per publication.
For instance, h-index of 17means that the scientist has published at least 17
papers that have each been cited at least 17 times. if the scientist’s 18th most
cited publication was cited only 10 times the h-index would remain at 17.if the
scientist’s 18th most cited publication was cited 18 or more times the h-index
would rise to 18.
