In this post, apart from Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology Journal
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is one of the world’s most cited developmental biology journal, advancing our understanding of the fundamental processes of life. It explores a wide spectrum of cell and developmental biology, covering intracellular and extracellular dynamics.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology Impact Factor
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
