Last Updated on July 22, 2025 by Admin

Here is the list of the top 100 highest impact factor journals of 2022. This is the most updated list of journals with the highest impact factor around the world. The list is made from data provided in Journal Citation Report by Clavirate.

What is Impact Factor and How is it calculated?

Impact Factor (IF) or often called journal impact factor (JIF) is an index provided by an analytics company named Clarivate. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of times the articles are cited in the last two years by the total number of publications in those two years.

• Total Citations in 2020 and 2021 = 500
• Total Number of Publications in 2020 and 2021 = 100
• Impact Factor of the Journal in 2022 = 500/100 = 5
