A journal impact factor measures the frequency with which the average article from that journal has been cited in a particular year. The greater the average, the higher the impact factor of the journal. The impact factor of a journal is shown in the Journal Citation Reports, available through the Web of Knowledge (you will need an Athens password to access this).
