Nature Impact Factor 2024 Estimation Model. Australia’s fall to 12th in the nature index highlights the urgent need for greater r&d investment and policies that support university research and the international talent pipeline. Clarivate plc has released the 2024 update to the journal citation reports (jcr).

For any journal to have an impact factor it must be tracked by clarivate analytics for two years (for more information on how impact factors are calculated, please see here). With over 175 years publishing across the humanities and social sciences (hss), springer nature sees this as a positive move in helping to ensure a more equal metric.
