Hilit,
It would appear as though you've discovered an academic black hole. Not only
is it seemingly impossible to find an impact factor for this journal, but
the ISI Web of Science search engine neither recognizes the journal nor any
of the papers published in the journal all the way back to the
If you download Hartzing's Publish or Perish freeware off of the web,
you can find several index scores for Urban Ecosystems. For example,
the h-index of UE is currently 25. Then compare it to other journals.
However, you are probably better to use an age-weighted citation
index to compare it
As far as I know, journals have to apply in order to be indexed by
ISI, and even so there is a selection process before it can be
considered an ISI journal. Since it is ISI who calculates impact
factors, all journals that are not indexed by it live in the same black
hole.

You are absolutely correct.
However, there is absolutely no guarantee that any journal will be
included in ISI regardless of what benchmarks it meets. THIS is the
problem with ISI, it is not completely objective.
Here is the process abbreviated:
1) SUBMIT JOURNAL TO ISIS
2) WAIT 2 YEARS TO
