Journal Bibliometric Report (2021)
The Journal Bibliometric Report is based on all publications in Medline/Pubmed that were cited by Medline/Pubmed publications in 2021.
Journals for Virology
For each journal, the table below lists the year of the most recent citable publication (Last Year); the total number of times citable publications were cited in 2021 (Total Cites); the average number of times citable publications from 2019 and 2020 were cited by publications in 2021 (Impact Factor); the average number of times citable publications from 2016 through 2020 were cited by publications in 2021 (5-Year Impact); the average number of times citable publications from 2021 were cited by publications in 2021 (Immediacy Index); the number of citable publications in 2021 (Articles); and the median age in years of citable publications that were cited by publications in 2021 (Cited Half-Life). Citable publications are those whose Medline/Pubmed type is "Journal Article", which in general includes things like original research, meta-analysis, and reviews, but does not include editorials or letters. The data in the table below includes self-citations.
