The impact factors of SCI economics journals were invented and maintained by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) of ClarivateAnalytics (formerly ThomsonReuters). IF is defined as the average number of citations of papers published in journals in the previous two years.

The specIFic calculation method is: IF=C/(M+N), where if is the impact factor of this journal in 2022, m is the number of articles published in this journal in 2020, n is the number of articles published in this journal in 202 1 year, and c is the total number of articles published in this journal in 2020 and 20021year cited in 2022.
