Health Systems Journal Impact-factor

The impact factor of the journal Health systems is a measure reflecting the average number of citations from recent articles published in the journal. It is frequently used as an indirect indicator of the relative importance of a journal in its field, journals with higher impact factors being considered more important than those with weaker factors. The impact factor was designed by Eugene Garfield, founder of the Institute for Scientific Information Health systems. Impact factors are calculated each year from 2013 for journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. A journal can adopt editorial policies to increase its impact factor. For example, journals may publish a higher percentage of journal articles which are generally cited more than research reports. Thus, journal articles can increase the impact factor of the journal and journals will therefore often have the highest impact factors in their respective fields. Some journal editors have defined their "invitation only" submission policy to exclusively invite top scientists to publish "citable" articles to increase the impact factor of the journal. Journals can also try to limit the number of "articles that can be cited", that is, the denominator of the impact factor equation, by refusing to publish articles that are unlikely to be cited , or by modifying articles in the hope that Thomson Scientific will not consider it a "citable article".
