ASJR provides quantitative measures for ranking, assessing, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The Citation Impact Factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular period. The annual ASJR's Journal Citation Impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the Journal Citation impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous four years.

Most of the individuals are treating the Impact factor as a main quality parameter for ranking the journals. But it should be noted that the Impact factor of a journal is no way related to the main quality parameters like quality of peer review and quality of content of the journal.
