Impact factor trends for general medical journals: non-English-language journals are lagging behind: non-English-language journals are lacking behind

18 Citationer (Scopus)

Abstract

The impact factor (IF) is a common citation metric used for evaluating and comparing scientific journals within a certain field. Previous studies have shown that IFs are increasing. However, rates may depend on journal publication language. The aim of this study was to determine IF values and trends for general medical journals, comparing non-English-language with English-language journals.
