    The document discusses the calculation of journal impact factors, which are a measure of how frequently articles in a given journal are cited by other articles. It explains that the 2-year impact factor is calculated by taking the number of cites in a given year to articles from the previous 2 years, and dividing by the total number of articles published in those 2 years. The 5-year impact factor similarly divides the total citations over a 5 year period by the total articles published in that period.
