Journal Impact Factor (TCI)

Editorial Note on TCI Journal Impact Factor Calculation
The following data present a self-calculated Journal Impact Factor (IF) based on citation rates in the Thai Journal Citation Index (TCI) database. This internal analysis is provided to transparently track the national academic influence and ongoing engagement of the Thai Man and Society Review (TMSR).
To maintain methodological consistency, our Editorial Board strictly applies the Impact Factor calculation methodology previously utilized by the TCI (which currently no longer formally calculates this specific metric). Specifically, this metric counts the total citations received over a 4-year period (within the TCI database) to articles published during that same 4-year window. This sum is then divided by the total number of these articles published in that identical timeframe. Our primary metric is calculated and updated annually, whereas a provisional Impact Factor Tracker is computed and updated semi-annually (every 6 months).
Please be advised that these specific metrics are calculated independently by our Editorial Board for real-time monitoring purposes. They are not official metrics formally published or endorsed by the TCI. Furthermore, the presentation of this citation data does not constitute a claim that TMSR is currently indexed in the TCI database.
For the absolute avoidance of doubt and to preempt any deliberate mischaracterization, we share these self-calculated metrics openly to provide our authors and stakeholders with timely insights into the journal's performance. We firmly trust that our scholarly community possesses the necessary critical discernment to readily recognize the fundamental distinction between a journal’s internal, self-monitored performance tracker and the official metric reports released by the indexing database.
