Abstract
The Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2020 release contains the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) for each journal indexed in the Web of Science data bank. A change influenced this recent release in its calculation because of the inclusion of early access items not considered in previous releases. These alterations can directly influence JIF results, mainly due to a more extensive source of citations, but this may not have occurred homogeneously for all journals. We performed a simplified evaluation of JIF progression in one area Web of Science journals category, Immunology, to evaluate the effect of these alterations in JIFs and discuss possible reasons for the observed effect yielding some evidence for the next JCR release.
期刊引用报告(JCR) 2020版本包含Web of Science数据库中索引的每种期刊的期刊影响因子(JIF)。一个变化影响了这个最近的版本的计算，因为包含了早期访问项目没有考虑在以前的版本。这些变化可以直接影响JIF的结果，主要是由于更广泛的引用来源，但这种情况可能不会均匀地发生在所有期刊上。我们在Web of Science期刊类别免疫学的一个领域对JIF进展进行了简化评估，以评估这些JIF变化的影响，并讨论观察到的影响的可能原因，为下一次JCR发布提供一些证据。
