For the impact factor, the first step is to look at the Thomson Reuters master list, <a href="http://ip-science.thomsonreuters.com/mjl/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. This will tell you whether a journal is included in any of this company's databases. I did not see <em>Socrates </em>listed there.
The "Global Impact Factor" is a bogus metric, in my opinion, and should be used by publishers.
