The American Journal of Health Behavior apparently has an impact factor between 1 and 2, which isn't stellar but also isn't "nobody reads".

- shusaku 5y agoIt’s pretty hard to find a journal with an impact factor below 1 considering how frequently scientists cite their own work. Heck just look at the special edition papers and see how often they cite each other. Edit: but I also don’t want to argue this point too much because impact factor is not a good measure of the quality of a journal
- nabla9 5y agoImpact factor 2 is bad. Nature Scientific Reports has 5-year impact factor ~4.5 and it's very low quality megajournal with tendency to publish junk science. The peer-review is designed to be very low quality (scientific importance is not criteria for example).
