Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in:

According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal had a 2014 impact factor of 2.2. [6] In 2015 the journal did not receive an impact factor as it was delisted because of citation stacking. [7] The 2016 impact factor subsequently fell to 1.8 [8] and in the 2018 release of JCR 2017 fell further to 1.5. [9]

The editors of Methods of Information in Medicine and the other journal involved, Applied Clinical Informatics published a rebuttal in an editorial in both journals. [10] [11] The president and publication officer of the European Federation for Medical Informatics also commented on this matter. [12] Phil Davis visualized the citation cartel pointing out that Lehmann and Haux (the editors of the two journals) produced a total of 4 papers in 2014 and 2015 that excessively cited each other's journal articles for the impact-factor relevant years. [13]
