cover of the journal Blood

This journal is in the top 3 list of impactful journals for this topic category (haematology), as determined by the journal impact factor (2024, Journal Citation Report, Web of Science, accessed 29/01/24).

Journal Impact Factor (JIF)

The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is the most widely quoted metric and has traditionally been the gold standard. It gives an overall value indicating the average number of times research articles and reviews have been cited by other articles/journals. Typically, it has been an indicator of the impact and influence of a journal on published research in a subject category. However, it is not necessarily an indicator of quality and there is some debate these days regarding its value. You can find the JIF of a journal by typing “impact factor” along with the journal name into Google. I have used Web of Science to find information about the JIF.
