Newly-Released Impact Factors Show Increases for All 3 NCFR Journals
The results of the annual Journal Citation Report, a standard measure for scientific journals, are now available for the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF), Family Relations: Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Family Science (FR), and Journal of Family Theory & Review (JFTR). This measurement includes impact factors and a rank by subject category in the Social Sciences Citation Index maintained by Clarivate Analytics.
The two- and five-year impact factors increased for all three journals, and JMF and JFTR increased their ranking.
The impact factor for a journal measures the frequency with which the average article in that journal was cited in a given year. The two- and five-year impact factors for 2017 are listed in the table below along with the new category rankings.
