Impact Factor, Quartiles, SNIP
The Journal Citation Reports (abbreviation: JCR; chronological range since 1997) is used to analyse and evaluate journals. It presents indicators that are calculated on the basis of citations made by individual journals. The JCR shows the relationship between citing and cited journals using bibliometric indicators. The most frequently used one is the Impact Factor (IF) - the average number of citations per article of a given journal over the last two years (in other words, it is the ratio of the number of citations to the number of articles))
The database is published in 2 series: Science Edition and Social Sciences Edition.
