Highlights：

• Technological impact factor (TIF) measures the impact of journal articles on patents.

• Journals with higher TIF values performed diversely in journal impact factor (JIF).

• TIF values were not strongly correlated with JIF values in three selected categories.

• Academic journals may take more time to influence practical innovation.
