POLICY SCIENCES
With an interdisciplinary and international focus, Policy Sciences encourages different perspectives and especially welcomes conceptual and empirical innovation together with the potential richness and insight of comparative orientation. More specifically, Policy Sciences seeks to offer its readership the following: articles that examine the normative aspects of policy sciences conceptual articles which address concrete policy issues special issues that analyze specific topics in some depth articles on particularly controversial pieces of analysis opposing perspectives, such as critiques or rejoinders on articles already published, which open the journal to an exchange of views rather than restricting it to pure presentation.
Impact Factor Trend 2000 - 2025
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 2024 - 2025 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 2025. Also Check H-Index, SCImago journal rank and journal impact factor 2025.

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.
