More Information on Journal Citation Reports®
The recognized authority for evaluating journals, Journal Citation Reports
presents quantifiable statistical data that provides a systematic, objective
way to evaluate the world's leading journals and their impact and influence
in the global research community.
In 2005, JCR Web, available via ISI Web of Knowledge, expanded
its analytical capabilities beyond the journal level to include the subject
category level. The additional data makes it easier for users to understand
performance metrics in context and facilitate collection management decisions.
Related Journals enable users to see which journals share citations, and are
therefore related. This analytical feature is available at both the journal
level and the journal category level.
JCR Web includes powerful linking categories, including:
- Links from JCR journal records to ulrichsweb.com and recent Current
Contents Connect tables of contents*
- Links to/from your library OPAC*
- Links from Web of Science to JCR Web*
*Depending upon your institution's subscription.
