Impact Factor JUMPS After the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Study in: Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging: Journals

In this study, we aimed to compare the growth rate of IF JUMPS in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging in the last 6 years. This retrospective study calculated the growth rate (JUMP) in IF from 2015 to 2020. We used the Friedman and Wilcoxon signed ranks tests to calculate the statistically significant difference in IF from 2015 to 2020 and the 2019 to 2020 difference. We classified JUMPS in negative growth rate, quartiles, and journals with>100%. Three journals had more than 100% IF growth rate during 2020 (Zeitschrift fur Medizinische Physik, Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, and Ultrasound Quarterly). A 76% to 100% growth rate was observed in another 4 journals (3.2%), and 8 journals (6.3%) depicted a 51% to 75% percentage of change. Repeated measures analyses showed a significant difference (P
