Green tea, lupus, and quality of life A study published on June 6, 2017 in the journal Phytotherapy Research found benefits to drinking green tea on lupus symptoms. The journal itself focuses on pharmacology, toxicology, and the clinical application of herbs and natural products in a clinical context. One way that journals are ranked is by impact score. Impact score is a ratio of articles that were cited by other researchers (in the previous two years) compared to the number of articles published (also in the previous two years). Or, it can be written like this: Impact Score for 2017 = (Citations in 2016 + Citations in 2015) / (Articles in 2016 + Articles in 2016) A higher impact score suggests that the journal is publishing content that is contributing to pushing science forward. Phytotherapy Research has a 2014 impact score of 2.66, and it was ranked 105th out of 254 journals in the category: “Pharmacology and Pharmacy.” Taken together, these scores and rankings point to the strength of a journal.
