What counts as a high impact journal?

A high impact journal is generally one with a Journal Citation Reports (JCR) impact factor of 10 or above — placing it in the Q1 quartile of its subject category. The cutoff varies by field: in clinical medicine the bar is far higher than in pure mathematics. Use the per-field tables above to benchmark within your discipline.
