Dear Sri/Ms. Ponamalla,
Thanks for your post.
Simply speaking, the journals which are not covered by Web of Science/Scopus databases don't have Impact factors. However, presently several other Indexing databases have came into being like Indian Citation Index; Index Copernicus etc.
It is bitter yet true that the journals which are not included into the WOS/Scopus Databases, enlist them into other databases to flaunt Impact Factor.
This is some what like the difference between passing out from IIM with a Business Management Degree and passing out from Privately run Business Management Institute!!
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
