Every July, journal impact factors (JIFs) for the preceding year are released. JIFs are eagerly anticipated as proxies for journal quality and influence (Lowry et al., 2013), although we acknowledge a longstanding countermovement that rejects such journal-level metrics and argues that only article-level quality and impact should be assessed or that suggests other impact measures (e.g. Bollen et al., 2005; Leydesdorff, 2012). We also acknowledge the inherent risks associated with scientometric analysis of journal impact (cf. Clarke, 2016), especially in drawing inferences about what anyone (publisher, editor, author, or reader) might do as a result of that analysis. The most-reported JIF covers two years and was traditionally calculated as follows:
