{{See also|Impact factor}}

[[Journal impact factor]] (JIF) measures the average number of citations of articles in a journal over a two-year window. It is commonly used as a proxy for journal quality, expected research impact for articles submitted to that journal, and of researcher success.<ref name="Lariviere 2018">{{Cite arXiv |last1=Gargouri |first1=Yassine |last2=Hajjem |first2=Chawki |last3=Lariviere |first3=Vincent |last4=Gingras |first4=Yves |last5=Carr |first5=Les |last6=Brody |first6=Tim |last7=Harnad |first7=Stevan |year=2018 |title=The Journal Impact Factor: A Brief History, Critique, and Discussion of Adverse Effects |class=cs.DL |eprint=1801.08992}}</ref><ref name="Curry 2018">{{Cite journal |last=Curry |first=Stephen |year=2018 |title=Let's Move beyond the Rhetoric: It's Time to Change How We Judge Research |journal=Nature |volume=554 |issue=7691 |pages=147 |bibcode=2018Natur.554..147C |doi=10.1038/d41586-018-01642-w |pmid=29420505 |doi-access=free}}</ref> In subscription journals, impact factor correlates with overall citation count, however this correlation is not observed in gold OA journals.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chua |first1=SK |last2=Qureshi |first2=Ahmad M |last3=Krishnan |first3=Vijay |last4=Pai |first4=Dinker R |last5=Kamal |first5=Laila B |last6=Gunasegaran |first6=Sharmilla |last7=Afzal |first7=MZ |last8=Ambawatta |first8=Lahiru |last9=Gan |first9=JY |last10=Kew |first10=PY |last11=Winn |first11=Than |date=2 March 2017 |title=The impact factor of an open access journal does not contribute to an article's citations |journal=F1000Research |volume=6 |pages=208 |doi=10.12688/f1000research.10892.1 |issn=2046-1402 |pmc=5464220 |pmid=28649365 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
