The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Genes and Development and its the corresponding percentile for the sake of comparison with the entire literature. Impact Factor is the most common scientometric index, which is defined by the number of citations of papers in two preceding years divided by the number of papers published in those years.This graph shows how the impact factor of Genes and Development is computed. The left axis depicts the number of papers published in years X-1 and X2, and the right axis displays their citations in year X.
How Influential is Genes and Development?

This Journal is the 12th out of 542 Genetics journals. This means the journal is among the top 3% in the sub-discipline of Genetics. This Journal is the 23rd out of 437 Molecular Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% in the sub-discipline of Molecular Biology. This Journal is the 105th out of 6,760 Biology journals. This means the journal is among the top 2% in the discipline of Biology. This Journal is the 143rd out of 9,726 Life Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 2% in the science branch of Life Sciences.
How are inpact factors calculated?
The impact factor (IF) is calculated by counting citations from peer-reviewed journals only.
extended IF also counts citations from books and conference papers. However, no patent, abstract, working papers, online documents, etc., are covered.
