Evaluation of International Urology Journals

Evaluation of Urology Journals is conducted based on the number of citations received per paper published in that Journal at a specific point of time. This is reflected in the so-called 'impact factor'.

 

Impact factors are announced every year -usually in June- in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) of Thomson ISI (Institute for Scientific Information).

The Impact Factor of a Medical Journal is calculated based on a 3-year period and expresses the average frequency with which articles published in the Journal have been cited within a period of up to two years after their publication. 

 The Impact Factor is calculated as follows:

Impact Factor 2012 = Α / Β where:

  • Α = how many times articles published in the Journal are cited, in all Medical Journals during the period 2010-2011
  • Β = the number of articles published during the period 2010-2011

 

For further information, watch a relevant presentation that was provided at the 1st Interactive School of Urology organized by ISUD - Uroschool 2008. For impact factors of other Journals, visit  Medical Journal Impact Factors 2012.
