The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a metric that represents the average Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of citable items, such as articles and reviews, published by a journal over a recent three-year period. As it is normalized, it allows comparisons across disciplines.
For example, a journal with a Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) of 1.0 has received the average citation count for its category.
A JCI above 1.0 signifies that the journal outperforms the average, with a JCI of 2.0 indicating it performs twice as well as the average, while a JCI of 0.5 means the journal performs at half the average level.
