The Internal Impact Factor (IIF) reflects the citation performance and scholarly reach of articles published in the Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences. An IIF of 3.79 indicates consistent citation activity, growing readership, and research visibility across multidisciplinary domains.
Citation-based metrics help authors understand how widely a journal’s content is being read, used, and referenced. While “Impact Factor” is a common term, it’s important to understand what it measures—and what it does not.
Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is commonly described as the average number of citations received by articles published in a journal over a defined period (often the previous two years). It is one of several indicators used by authors to compare journals.
In its simplest two-year form, the metric is represented as citations divided by the number of citable items published.
Note: Different systems may use different inclusion rules for “citable items” and the citation sources counted.
JBRES uses the term Internal Impact Factor (IIF) as an internally generated citation indicator that reflects how often our published articles are cited across widely used scholarly platforms, such as:
Our IIF aims to include a broader set of citation signals than traditional calculations, offering a practical view of real-world reach.
IIF is provided as an internal metric for transparency and author awareness; it is not a substitute for externally administered indexing metrics.
Impact indicators can be helpful when used responsibly. They support:
