I can find the IF indicator in the Web of Science database - Journal Citation Reports (JCR). After accessing the database, I enter the name or ISSN of a specific journal in the search field. In the “Journal's performance” section, I will find the IF value for individual years.
I can also use the Scopus database, which uses CiteScore metrics. The CiteScore value is always listed for a specific journal after it has been searched in the database.

I can also use the Scopus database, which uses the SJR - SCImago Journal Rank metric. The SJR value is always listed for a specific journal after it has been searched in the database.
Unlike IF, AIS does not include self-citations in calculations. AIS takes into account the potential impact of citations - citations that come from more prestigious journals carry more weight and vice versa. AIS is also more resistant to unfair practices, for example in the form of so-called “citation fraternities”.
Information can be found in the Web of Science database - Journal Citation Reports (JCR). After accessing the database, I enter the name or ISSN of a specific journal in the search field. Information on the classification of the journal into individual quartiles (Q1-Q4) is available in the Rank by Journal Impact Factor section.
