The International Journal of Modern Science and Research Technology (IJMSRT) uses a citation-based calculation to evaluate the research impact of articles published in previous years.

This metric provides an indication of how frequently research articles are cited by other researchers.

What Is Impact Factor?

Impact Factor is a citation-based metric that relates citations received by articles published during a specific period to the number of eligible publications published during that period.

For a two-year calculation, the formula can be represented as:

In simple terms: Impact Factor = Citations Received ÷ Eligible Publications

How Is the IJMSRT Impact Factor 2026 Calculated?

For the 2026 calculation, the publication period considered is 2024 and 2025.

• Research publications from 2024
• Research publications from 2025
• Citations received during 2026 for those publications

Step 1: Number of Citable Publications

The first step is to determine the number of eligible publications published during 2024 and 2025.

Therefore, the denominator used in the calculation is 335.

Step 2: Number of Citations

The second step is to determine the number of citations received during 2026 by articles published in 2024 and 2025.

Therefore, the numerator used in the calculation is 1,799.

Step 3: Apply the Formula

The citation count is divided by the number of eligible publications:

Therefore, based on the stated figures, the calculated 2026 citation-based metric is:

Calculation at a Glance

Why Citations Matter

Citations help indicate how published research is being used and referenced by other researchers. Research papers that are cited in subsequent studies can contribute to further academic discussion and research development.

The citation-based metric increases when the number of citations is higher relative to the number of eligible publications.

Understanding the Calculation

For the 2026 calculation, citations received during 2026 for papers published in 2024 and 2025 are considered against the number of eligible publications from those two years.

Important Note About the Term "Impact Factor"

The calculation presented on this page is a citation-based calculation using the stated publication and citation data.

It should not be confused with the official Journal Impact Factor (JIF) published by Clarivate through Journal Citation Reports (JCR). A self-calculated citation metric does not itself constitute a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.

For transparency, the calculation period, publication count, citation count, and methodology should be clearly stated when presenting a citation-based metric.

Conclusion

The two-year citation-based calculation can be summarized as:

Using the stated figures:

1,799 ÷ 335 = 5.37

This demonstrates how citation and publication data can be used to calculate a two-year citation-based impact metric for a journal.

Note: The citation and publication figures used for the final calculation should be based on verified journal records.
