Here in this post, apart from Science Translational Medicine Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Science Translational Medicine Journal

Science Translational Medicine 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
Science Translational Medicine Nature Impact Factor (2019-2025)
- Science Translational Medicine Impact Factor 2018 – 16.710
- Science Translational Medicine Impact Factor 2019 – 17.161
- Science Translational Medicine Impact Factor 2020 – 16.304
- Science Translational Medicine Impact Factor 2021 – 17.956
- Science Translational Medicine Impact Factor 2022 – coming soon
Science Translational Medicine 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 Science Translational Medicine Journal is 242, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 242 of these publications have received at least 242 citations each.
