A journal’s impact factor is a measurement of citation frequency that reflects the average number of citations to articles published in a science journal. Impact factors are calculated annually for those journals that are indexed in the Clarivate Analytics Journal Citation Reports. The impact factor of a journal in a given year is the average number of citations a paper published in that journal received during the two previous years. The impact factor is often used to rank the relative importance and scientific caliber of a journal within its field.
Here, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our Editorial Team Members, Guest Editors, authors, and reviewers for their significant contributions. We look forward to the continuous cooperation with all the above mentioned to bring more exciting content to readers in the coming future.
