Impact factor of physics journals
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The impact factor of physics journals is primarily calculated based on citation counts, with additional factors influencing the rankings. The discussion highlights the top-ranked physics journals in various categories for the year 2002, including "Applied Physics," "Atomic, Molecular & Chemical," and "Condensed Matter." Notable journals include "Mat Sci Eng R" with an impact factor of 11.893 and "Adv Phys" with 13.952. The conversation also touches on the disparity between community perceptions of high impact and ISI's algorithmic assessments.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of citation metrics in academic publishing
- Familiarity with ISI Journal Impact Factors
- Knowledge of different physics subfields and their journals
- Basic research skills for accessing journal performance indicators
- Research the methodologies behind ISI Journal Impact Factors
- Explore the ranking criteria for physics journals in 2023
- Analyze the citation patterns in "Applied Physics" journals
- Investigate the impact of journal rankings on academic careers
Researchers, physicists, and academic professionals interested in understanding the impact of journal rankings on publication strategies and citation practices in the field of physics.

Physics Impact Factors
Impact factors are calculated based mostly on number of citations. There are, however, many other factors. Do a google search on "ISI Journal Impact Factors" or "Journal Performance Indicators" and you can pull up some formulas that the ISI uses.
Regarding the actual impact factors, it depends on the area of physics. Areas available are:
Applied
Atomic, Molecular & Chemical
Condensed Matter
Fluids & Plasmas
Mathematical
Multidisciplenary
Nuclear
Particles & Fields
Here is some info. for 2002:
Top five ranked impact factor "Applied Physics" journals:
Mat Sci Eng R - 11.893
Adv Func Mater - 4.656
Appl Phys Lett - 4.207
MRS Bull - 3.242
J Appl Phys - 2.281
And the top six ranked impact factor "Atomic..." journals:
Prog Nucl Mag Res SP - 4.808
Adv Atom Mol Opt Phy - 4.524
Chem Phys Chem - 3.862

Amazing that Phys. Rev. Lett. didn't make it into any of these top-5 lists!

I was wondering the same thing.
In the physics community, what is considered "high impact" is, as I am sure you would corroberate, different than what ISI considers to be "high impact" with its algorithm.

How is this a coincidence? I wouldn't call two events separated by 3 and a half years coinciding.

Mind you - got to give credit for tenacity, to spend nearly 4 years researching an answer to the original question shows true persistence.
