Here in this post, apart from Genetics Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Genetics Journal
Genetics is published by the Genetics Society of America. The journal publishes empirical studies of organisms ranging from microbes to humans.
Impact Factor
SJR Rank
H-index
Genetics 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
Genetics Impact Factor (2019-2022)
- Genetics Impact Factor 2017 – 4.075
- Genetics Impact Factor 2018 – 3.564
- Genetics Impact Factor 2019 – 4.015
- Genetics Impact Factor 2020 – 4.562
- Genetics Impact Factor 2021 – 4.402
- Genetics Impact Factor 2022 – 3.3 (updated 29 June 2023)

Genetics H-index
The h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations.
The h index of Genetics Journal is 255, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 255 of these publications have received at least 255 citations each.
