Clarivate’s Impact Factor is calculated based on the number of citations in a given year to articles published in the journal during the two preceding years, divided by the total number of citable articles published in those two years. To receive an IF, a journal must be consistently indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) or Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) for several years. PAMJ, while indexed in numerous databases (including PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, and DOAJ), has not yet met Clarivate’s specific criteria for inclusion in JCR.

To ask "What is the Pan African Medical Journal’s impact factor?" is to ask the wrong question. A better question is: How impactful is PAMJ for African health and science? pan african medical journal impact factor
