Combining data from the Google Scholar list of robotics journals and Web of Science search (requires free login), this is a compiled list of robotics journal impact factors for 2018, the latest publicly available year in the free service.
Obtaining the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) requires a Clarivate subscription, which I unfortunately do not have. Instead, I compiled a list of the freely available Journal Citation Indicator (JCI), defined as follows:
The Journal Citation Indicator is a measure of the average Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of citable items (articles & reviews) published by a journal over a recent three year period. It is used to help you evaluate journals based on other metrics besides the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).
