Universal Journal Impact Factor
Eligibility condition
Journals with p-ISSN/e- ISSN are eligible to apply.
The Universal Journal Impact Factor is calculated per year on the basis of a 100 points contribution scale and on Number of articles published during a year. Articles are selected from each issue and their quality is judged.
Evaluation Methodology
The below quality factors are evaluated:
Originality Contribution (OC): 50%
Scientific Quality Contribution(SQC):20%
Review Process Contribution (RPC):20%
Regularity and stability Contribution(RSC):5%
Technical Editing Quality Contribution(TEQC):5%
Total Quality Contributing Factor (TQCF) OC+SQC+RPC+RSC+TEQC
Originality in research
This aspect gets the highest score of 50 points. Original research article is an article based on original research, here it is necessary to define what original research is, meaning if knowledge is used properly it will lead to innovation of new ideas or further improvement, on the other hand. On the other hand, when this knowledge is used repeatedly in an improved way, it will lead to plagiarism of research articles, harming the quality of research. rescue. Simply put, research creates new knowledge rather than summarizing what is already known in a new form. There are many ways to create new knowledge: observations, experiments, new approaches to solving existing problems, etc.
Scientific Quality
This aspect is worth 20 points. Scientific journals aim to promote science, often by reporting new research. Scientific journals contain peer-reviewed articles, which aim to ensure that the articles meet the journal's standards for quality and scientific value. Although scientific journals may seem similar to professional journals, they are actually quite different. Publishing research results is an essential part of the scientific method. If they describe experiments or calculations, they must provide enough detail so that an independent researcher can repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results.
Peer Review

Research Journal Impact Factor (RJIF)= TQCF x APS
Negative score
If the articles have the plagiarism issue and have been copied from the original article and for irregular/late publishing of the issues may lead negative scores also which will affect the TQCF. The evaluation will be based on the decisions of the reviewers.
