What is PubMed Impact Factor Search?
PubMed Impact Factor Search is a special Chrome extension designed to optimize your research journey. This extension helps to narrow down the search query in PubMed by implementing the use of impact factors. Users will need to upload a CSV file from InCites Journal Citation Reports and specify their desired impact factor with a slider. The extension then adds ISSN of the journals with the specified impact factor into the PubMed search box, thus filtering the search by the impact factor of the journals.
