Abstract:

[Purposes] In view of the vague cognition of several important issues in the origin and development of journal impact factor, this paper conducts a detailed research on the history of journal impact factor and clarifies some important issues about the origin and development of journal impact factor. [Methods] Using Web of Science to search and analyze a large number of foreign researches related to the impact factor, we studied the important time nodes and events during the formation of impact factor. [Findings] The background of impact factor is clarified, and the time nodes, such as the concept of impact factor, calculating method, and application to journal evaluation are confirmed. The citation time window of impact factor and the substance of citable items are defined. [Conclusions] As the development of science technology and the growing needs of scientific evaluation, impact factor has become the most important and even irreplaceable journal evaluation index.
