The number of citable articles in MISQ = 90. Impact factor = 5.6
JIF impacted by… Number of journals in a field Number of articles in a journal The frequency an average article is cited in a field Publication lags (fields with faster publication cycles get higher JIF) Turnover of knowledge accretion (History has low JIF)
