What is impact factor small?

The impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. A small impact factor indicates that the journal is not widely cited or has a limited impact on the research community. This could be because the field it covers is narrow, or it is not well-known or highly regarded by researchers. A low impact factor may also make it more difficult for researchers to get their work published in the journal, as high-impact journals are typically more selective. However, small impact factor journals can still have an important role in disseminating research in specialized fields or to more niche audiences.
