Journal Impact

Overview

 Journal-Level Metrics are used to assess academic journals' impact, influence, and quality. They are based on the number of publications and citations the publications received in the journal. The journal impact can help researchers and scholars:

  • choose a journal in which to publish
  • compare journal performance and trends
  • evaluate publications in these journals

Considerations using Journal Metrics:

1. Not all journals can be measured by journal metrics. Only journals indexed by the citation databases have corresponding journal metrics.

2. Journal impact metrics reflect the journal's impact, but they do not necessarily indicate the quality or impact of individual articles published within that journal.
