Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is an authoritative resource for impact data, and offers a systematic way to evaluate some of the world’s leading journals using robust citation data.  

 

This database uses Web of Science’s data to rank journals according to their citation influence, such as the highest impact or most frequently cited journals in a particular field. Citation data for science, technology, and social sciences publications is drawn from approximately 12,000 scholarly and technical journals and conference proceedings from more than 3,300 publishers in over 60 countries.

 

You can use JCR to find:

• the most frequently cited journals in a field
• the highest impact journals in a field
• the most published articles in a field
• subject category data for benchmarking
