Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. 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.
Rank in its subject categories
- Surgeryrank 38 of 337 journals
- Orthopedicsrank 26 of 145 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 Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
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).
