Definitions:

Impact Factor: Citations in the census period (year x, the numerator) to papers published in the target period (years x- 1, x-2), divided by the number of citable items published during the target period (years x-1, x-2, the denominator).

5-Year Impact Factor: Citations from papers published in the census period (year x, the numerator) to papers published in the target period (year x-1, x-2, x-3, x-4, x-5), divided by the number of citable items published during the target period (the denominator).

Cited Half-Life: The median age of papers in the target period (all years) cited from the census period (2020).

Total Citations: The total number of times that the journal has been cited by all journals included in the JCR database during the census year (2020).

JCI: The average Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) over a three year period for the journal. All papers are normalized for their type, published year and subject category. An average paper gets a score of 1 with higher than 1 being better than average and lower than one (with a floor of 0) being poorer. This is then aggregated to a journal level.

CiteScore: The calculation of CiteScore for the current year is based on the number of citations received by a journal in the latest 4 years (including the calculation year), divided by the number of documents published in the journal in those four years.
