Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the

Founded in 1893, the Brontë Society has a thriving worldwide membership. It was set up to organise a permanent home for items belonging to the Brontë family and the first museum opened in 1895 above the Yorkshire Penny Bank on Haworth Main Street. Haworth Parsonage was gifted to the Society by Sir James Roberts and opened to the public as the Brontë Parsonage Museum on 4 August 1828. The Brontë Society continues to be responsible for the Museum and its world-class collections and is committed to promoting the Brontë family legacy in contemporary society. The Brontë collections at the Brontë Parsonage Museum have been ‘Designated as Outstanding’ by Arts Council England and continue to inspire scholars, writers and artists. The Museum also presents an exciting and varied programme of exhibitions and events, and provides lifelong learning opportunities for all age groups.
