(New) Physics and Astronomy Journals with high impact factor


This blog post aims to provide a list of high impact factor Physics and Astronomy journals.

The Impact factor, calculated by Clarivate is commonly used to evaluate the relative importance of a journal within its field and to measure the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular time period.

Impact factor data has a strong influence on the scientific community, affecting decisions on where to publish, whom to promote or hire, the success of grant applications, and even salary bonuses. Through this web page, we will help you by providing a list of Physics and Astronomy journals having impact factor more than 6.
