Abstract The current article investigates the Impact Factor in Journals and its consequences for scientific considerations. The Impact Factor is a value for Journals listed in the Science Citation Index, which shows the average degree of acquaintance in the scientific community. There is an annual increase in Impact Factor in SCI, in which the annual rate is raising as higher the Impact Factor is. The Impact Factor is also determined to a considerable degree by the availability of the cited sources. Impact factors of Journals and prices for their relations depend only on a weak statistics from each other. Whether Journal is acquired, depends by far more strongly on the citations, which meets these magazines on itself. The IF rises with the number of copies of magazines if these already exhibit a higher IF.
