Impact factor of Oxford Journal of Law and Religion (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Oxford Journal of Law and Religion published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers.

The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
