Impact factors (IFs) are scores based on the frequency with which articles in a journal have been cited in other journals during a 2-year or 5-year period. Impact factors vary across disciplines and even within fields because of differences in citing behaviors, types of publications, and other factors. Nurses need to understand IFs and the implications for them as authors, particularly in light of the small number of nursing journals with IFs. This article describes journal IFs, the current state of IFs for nursing journals, and considerations in selecting a journal for submission of an article.
影响因子（IFs）是基于某期刊的文章在2年或5年期间被其他期刊引用的频率得出的分数。由于引用行为、出版物类型及其他因素的差异，影响因子在不同学科甚至同一领域内也有所不同。护士们需要了解影响因子及其对作为作者的她们的意义，尤其是鉴于拥有影响因子的护理期刊数量较少的情况。本文介绍了期刊影响因子、护理期刊影响因子的现状以及在选择投稿期刊时的考量因素。
