Journal Citation Reports

- Journal Citation Factor (JIF)The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is a ratio which divides a journal’s received citations by a count of its published articles. It’s not a mathematical average, but it does provide an approximation of the mean citation rate for a typical article.
- Journal Citation Indicator (JCI)• A category-normalized metric calculated for all journals in the Web of Science Core Collection, including the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, and Emerging Sources Citation Index
