Marine Biosciences Impact Factor

Marine biosciences, jointly referred to as oceanology and marine science, is that branch of the ocean-studying natural sciences. Marine biosciences cover a wide range of topics as well as the dynamics of aquatic organisms and schemes; ocean tides, waves and geological fluid dynamics; tectonics and, therefore, ocean floor earth sciences; and fluxes of various chemical compounds and physical properties across the ocean and across its boundaries. Journal impact factor provides a quantitative assessment method for the ranking, review, selection, and comparison of related papers. It reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals in a given year or period, and is often used as a proxy for a journal's relative importance within its field. It is first devised by the Institute for Scientific Information founder, Eugene Garfield. A journal's impact factor is calculated by splitting the number of current year citations into the source items that were published in that journal during the previous two years.
