For the first time in UTIM history, our university journal has been included in the Journal Citation Reports (Web of Science/Clarivate), and we have received an Impact Factor (IF) of 0.5. This remarkable achievement opens up exciting new opportunities for attracting foreign authors and elevates the journal’s prestige in the scientific world.

The Impact Factor (IF) serves as a crucial citation index for scientific journals, colloquially known as the „push force” index. Our inclusion in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database, curated by Clarivate Analytics, signifies that FIQ and its published articles have captured the attention of an international group of researchers and are recognized as a reliable source of information for them. This esteemed indicator highlights the citation rate of our journal among a global community of scientists.
