Journals
The word “ journal” has originated from latin word “diurnalis” which means daily.To us journal means a collection of scientic articles.There are various types of journals.For scientists & reseachers the most accepted journals are mostly peer reviewed journal Peer review is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work or research to the scrutiny of other experts in the same field. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (and often narrowly defined) field, who are qualified and able to perform impartial review.
Impact factor of a journal:
The impact factor is a measure of the citations to science and social science journals. The Impact factor was introduced by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI).
The impact factor of a journal is calculated every two-year period. It can be obtained by the average number of citations in a year given to those papers in a journal that were published during the two preceding years. For example, the 2008 impact factor of a journal would be calculated as follows:
A = the number of times articles published in 2006-2007 were cited in indexed journals during 2008
B = the number of "citable items" published in 2006-2007
2008 impact factor of the journal will be= A/B
