Elsevier’s CiteScore metrics provide comprehensive, transparent, current insights into journal impact

Impact plays an important part in understanding the performance of a journal over time and making decisions about its future. It is impossible to get a true picture of impact using a single metric alone, so a basket of metrics is needed to support informed decisions.

Today Elsevier is launching CiteScore metrics: a new standard that gives a more comprehensive, transparent and current view of a journal’s impact that will help you guide your journal more effectively in the future.

CiteScore metrics are part of the Scopus basket of journal metrics that includes SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper), SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), citation- and document- counts and percentage cited. The integration of these metrics into Scopus provides insights into the citation impact of more than 22,220 titles.

CiteScore metrics from Scopus is a comprehensive, current and free metrics for serial titles in Scopus.

Search or filter below to find the sources of interest and see the new metrics. Report using these annual metrics and track the 2016 metrics via the links to each title’s Scopus source details page.

Be sure to use qualitative as well as the below quantitative inputs when presenting your research impact, and always use more than one metric for the quantitative part.

Use from now CiteScore metrics online:

NEW TITLES WITH FIRST JOURNAL IMPACT FACTOR. 2014 Release

Librarians and information scientists have been evaluating journals for at least 75 years. Gross and Gross conducted a classic study of citation patterns in the '20s. Others, including Estelle Brodman with her studies in the '40s of physiology journals and subsequent reviews of the process, followed this lead. However, the advent of the Thomson Reuters citation indexes made it possible to do computer-compiled statistical reports not only on the output of journals but also in terms of citation frequency. And in the '60s we invented the journal "impact factor." After using journal statistical data in-house to compile the Science Citation Index® (SCI®) for many years, Thomson Reuters began to publish Journal Citation Reports® (JCR®) in 1975 as part of the SCI and the Social Sciences Citation Index® (SSCI®).

Informed and careful use of these impact data is essential. Users may be tempted to jump to ill-formed conclusions based on impact factor statistics unless several caveats are considered. 

2013 Journal Citation Reports released

2013 Journal Citation Reports released!!!

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is a resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from almost 11,000 scholarly and technical journals from nearly 2,500 publishers in over 80 countries. It includes virtually all areas of the sciences. Journal Citation Reports can show you the:

• Most frequently cited journals in a field
• Highest impact journals in a field
• Largest journals in a field.

Citation and article counts are indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals.  The 2013 citation data is available as the 2014 Release of Journal Citation Reports on July 29, 2014.

The recognized authority for evaluating journals, JCR presents quantitative data that supports a systematic, objective review of the world’s leading journals. Using a combination of impact and influence metrics, and millions of cited and citing journal data points that comprise the complete journal citation network of Web of Science™, JCR provides the context to understand a journal’s true place in the world of scholarly literature.
