Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Review of Metaphysics (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Review of Metaphysics 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.
