Diabetes impact factor, and the open numbers behind it.
Short answer
The Journal Impact Factor is a licensed Clarivate metric, so we do not reproduce it. The closest open equivalent is OpenAlex's two-year mean citedness: 0.63 citations per paper for Diabetes, retrieved 23 Oct 2026. OpenAlex also counts the conference abstracts the journal publishes, which are rarely cited, so this figure sits well below the citation rate of its research articles.
