Nature Scientific Reports Impact Factor 2024. The impact factor of scientific reports is 3.8. An impact factor is, broadly speaking, a measurement of the the average number of times recent articles in a specific journal were cited in a particular year.
The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The impact factor is derived by dividing the number of citations a journal receives in a given year by the total number of articles published in the previous two years.
