    *A journal’s Impact Factor is an indication of the average number of citations received per individual paper in the preceding two years. The annual figure is calculated by dividing the number of citations to relevant articles in a year by the number of citeable articles published in the preceding two years.
    Data based on 2014 Journal Citation Reports ®, (Thomson Reuters, June 2015).
