| SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IMPACT INDEX: |
| |
Journal Impact Factor is calculated on a yearly basis by the Journal Citation Reports database. The Impact Factor of a journal is the average number of times that articles published in that journal in a one year period have been cited in the particular year. The Journal Impact factor is used as a proxy for the general quality/significance/influence of the papers published in a journal.
The consolidated impact factor registered by International Journal of Management Studies, Statistics and Applied Economics (IJMSAE) for 2014 & 2015 is 0.4844. The impact factor is derived from the consolidated citation data received via Google Scholar, DOAJ, Life members, Self-citations and ProQuest survey based on international database.
International Journal of Management Studies, Statistics and Applied Economics (IJMSAE) regularly attempt to improve the impact factor of the journal; with the help of authors, researchers, life members, teachers and students, national & international databases, Google Scholar etc.
IJMSAE is participating periodically with the document submission and retrieval system that is heavily used by the research communities. It has become the primary means of communicating cutting-edge manuscripts on current and ongoing research sponsored by National and International libraries to improve the citation counts of the articles and subsequent improvements in the impact factor. |

| IMPACT FACTOR CONSIDERATIONS: |
| |
- Journal Impact Factor can be influenced by factors other than the quality of the publications.
- Self-citation can distort low Journal Impact Factors (but the degree of legitimate self-citation varies with subject area).
- Journals publishing a large proportion of non-citable items (such as editorials) can have lower Journal Impact Factors, regardless of the quality of the material.
- Journals vary in the kinds of papers they publish – review papers are often highly cited, so journals can raise their Journal Impact Factor by publishing more of review papers.
- Citations to a paper may not reflect its quality or significance.
- The Impact Factor of a journal does not necessarily reflect the quality of papers published by a particular author in that journal.
- Journal Impact Factors vary wildly between and even within academic disciplines, depending on how popular a particular topic is, or how narrowly a journal is focused.
- A Journal Impact Factor carries little meaning without comparison to Impact Factors of other journals centered on the same topic.
