The correct answer is

Impact factor

The standard or quality of a research journal is usually judged by how often the work it publishes is cited by other researchers, since frequent citation indicates influence in the field.

The impact factor, published in Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports, is the number of citations received in a given year by the items a journal published in the preceding two years, divided by the number of citable items published in those two years. A higher impact factor is widely used as the indicator of a journal's standing.

The publisher and the quality of printing say nothing about the scholarly value of the articles. A citation index is a database that records citations (such as the Science Citation Index); it is the source from which the impact factor is calculated, not the measure of a journal's standard itself.

Impact factor option is correct.
