Bibliometrics for the American Journal of Psychiatry

Journal Citation Reports

The American Journal of Psychiatry’s Impact Factor score is 15.1, according to the 2023 Journal Citation Reports® (Clarivate Analytics, 2024). Impact Factor is a bibliometric calculation that describes the level of importance a journal’s published output has on the scientific literature by measuring how much the work it publishes is cited by others. The score can be interpreted as an average, where every article that AJP published in the reporting period (2021 and 2022) was cited by more than 15 articles in 2023. This Impact Factor score ranks AJP among the highest not just in the category of psychiatry but also among all the 21,522 indexed journals in scientific, technical, engineering, and medical publishing, where AJP’s 15.1 is ahead of 98% of the rest of the publishing world.

AJP’s number of Total Citations, 38,166, places it fourth in the category of psychiatry. Total Citations indicates the total number of times that a journal has been cited by all journals included in the Journal Citation Reports® database within the studied year (2022).
