Immediacy Index





CALCULATION

The immediacy index is calculated based on the papers published in a journal in a single calendar year.
For example, the 2005 immediacy index for a journal would be calculated as follows:

: ''A'' = the number of times articles published in 2005 were cited in indexed journals during 2005
: ''B'' = the number of articles, reviews, proceedings or notes published in 2005

: 2005 immediacy index = ''A''/''B''

As with the impact factor, there are some nuances to this: ISI excludes certain article types (such as news items, correspondence, and errata) from the denominator.
