How to spot predatory journals →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Transactions of the IMF (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Transactions of the IMF published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, calculated by ScholarsColab. The journal is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate; the value above is how often its recent papers are cited.
Rank in its subject categories
- Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineeringrank 72 of 101 journals
- Materials Science, Coatings & Filmsrank 20 of 25 journals
- Electrochemistryrank 36 of 44 journals
Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of Transactions of the IMF
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Transactions of the IMF is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no JCR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.
