Announcement on the removal of journals from the Web of Science Core Collection database (20.03.2023)
On the official blog of Clarivate (producer of Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports) an announcement has been made about the evaluation process for journals indexed in Web of Science. The result of the review is the withdrawal of some titles from Web of Science Core Collection, such as the following:
- International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health - MDPI Publishing House
- Biomed Research International by HINDAWI LTD
- Disease Markers - HINDAWI LTD Publishing House
- Oxidative Medicine And Cellular Longevity - HINDAWI LTD Publishing House
- Annals of Palliative Medicine - AME PUBLISHING COMPANY
Since the early 2023 more than 500 journals have been flagged as potentially not meeting Clarivate's criteria. More than 50 of these journals have been removed from WoS. In response to this situation, the publisher MDPI has published an official announcement.
Please, note! The current status of journals should be checked in Master Journal List (Web of Science Coverage section), as it is possible that the journal will be included in the WoS Core Collection section and indexed in the database again (as in the case of the Hindawi title Biomed Research International).
