Amphibian & Reptile Conservation
Amphibian & Reptile Conservation (ARC) is an open-access international journal that is published twice per year (semi-annually). ARC publishes original peer-reviewed research, reviews, short communications, new species descriptions, country overviews, and more, focusing on a variety of topics relating to the biology, conservation, natural history, and diversity of the world's amphibians and reptiles. ARC features exceptional graphic design and unlimited use of full-color photographs to maximize appeal to all audiences, quick turn-around time from submission to publication, and exposure within the media (press releases, social networking, etc.) to enhance distribution and publicity for our authors' research results. Each issue normally focuses on a specific country or topic, which is illustrated by the cover photo. The first half of the journal is devoted to the special topic and the second half contains all other papers that are submitted during the time frame for that particular issue.
Impact Factor Trend 2000 - 2021
The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a scientometric factor based on the yearly average number of citations on articles published by a particular journal in the last two years. In other words, the impact factor of 2021 is the average of the number of cited publications divided by the citable publications of a journal. A journal impact factor is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Normally, journals with higher impact factors are often deemed to have more influence than those with lower ones. However, the science community has also noted that review articles typically are more citable than research articles.Here you can check the journal performance trends based on last 20 years of data, also check the latest journal citation reports 2021. Also Check H-Index, SCImago journal rank and journal impact factor 2021.

Note: impact factor data for reference only
Any journal impact factor or scientometric indicator alone will not give you the full picture of a science journal. That’s why every year, scholars review current metrics to improve upon them and sometimes come up with new ones. There are also other factors to sider for example, H-Index, Self-Citation Ratio, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank Indicator) and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper). Researchers may also consider the practical aspect of a journal such as publication fees, acceptance rate, review speed.
Read MoreH-Index
The h-index is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of the publications of a scientist or scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
