HHCI Impact Factor

Impact Factor: 1.1

The Journal Impact Factor is defined as citations to the journal in the current year to items in the previous two years divided by the count of scholarly items in those previous two years.

The Journal Impact Factor is truly unique among journal metrics in that all citations to a journal title are counted. The Journal Impact Factor is a journal-level metric that counts all recognizable citations to a journal title, even in cases where there is no information in the reference about which particular article has been cited.

The Journal Impact Factor, therefore, gives you a more complete picture of journal-level citation and enables a more accurate assessment of journal performance.
