Impact Factor : 

Impact Factor The impact factor is a measure of the citations to science and social science journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the importance of a journal to its field

Impact Factor : 

Impact Factor A: Current year cites to articles published in year-1 and year-2 B: Number of articles published in year-1 and year-2 C: Current year Impact Factor: A/B

For Example DNA Research : 

For Example DNA Research A: Cites in 2007 to items published in: 2006 =62 2005 = 153 A- Sum = 215 B: Number of items published in: 2006 = 24 2005 = 37 B – Sum = 61 2007 Impact factor A/B = 215/61 =3.525
