Abstract
In the Journal Citation Reports, it is shared various metrics from the previous year for the journals indexed in the Web of Science. On June 28, 2023, the 2022 data of the journals were shared. In this study, it was aimed to comprehensively examine the current impact factor of the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, which has an important place in its field, and to determine the change observed in the impact factor values over the years. In conclusion, it has been observed that the values of the journal impact factor of the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery have been on an increasing trend, especially in the last 10 years. On the other hand, this value showed a slight decrease in 2022 data, but a similar decrease was observed in many journals in the literature. It is thought that the decreases in journal impact factor for 2022 data may be due to more general reasons, not journal scale. In addition, the values of the impact factor of the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery for the years 1997 to 2022 show that it has maintained its current position in the field of science for a long time.
