The significant increase of the European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research’s Impact Factor Score
The European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research, whose Editorial Team is composed by our director Ernesto Savona (Editor in Chief) and our researchers Thomas Joyce (Managing Editor) and Deborah Manzi (Assistant Managing Editor), has reached for the year 2020 the outstanding achievement of a 0.7 increase of the Impact Factor Score.
This result is determined by a higher number of citations of the articles published on the Journal compared with previous years, therefore making EJCPR one of the most relevant sources in the field of criminology with a 2 Year Impact Factor of 2.118.
