Every year, Clarivate releases a Journal Citation Report (JCR). The JCR contains the ranking (impact factor) of all the journals indexed in the Web of Science. In this blog post, we will be providing a list of top biology journals with their latest impact factors. The Journal “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” published by Springer Nature has the highest impact factor of 113.
Moreover, at the last of this post, we will also share how to find the impact factor of any journal online.
