Impact factor of BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers.

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.
