New JCR data and InCites

The latest journal impact factors are out! Check out the Journal Citation Reports database to get the latest impact factor for a journal you are considering publishing in.

You may notice JCR looks a lot different. It has undergone a major update and is hosted on the InCites platform.
New features and metrics include:

• Visualizations -  dynamic and interactive link and node visualizations that enable users to see the strength of relationships at both the category and journal levels
• Comparison Tools - the Compare Journals feature enables users to select journals and view comparative data based on various indicators.
• Create and Save Reports - users can save comparison reports as well as journal lists they've created that can be accessed at a later time so long as they've logged in with a username and password.
• 5-Year Journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from a journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year. For journals in subjects where citation activity continues to rise through several years, this metric allows more of their total citation activity to be included in a critical performance metric.
• Eigenfactor® Metrics, comprising the Eigenfactor® Score and Article Influence® Score, use JCR citation data to assess the influence of a journal in relation to other journals. These metrics, based on five years of citation activity, consider not just the count of citations but the structure of the citation network.
