The report provides information on the availability of indexing (also called referencing) of scientific journals in the international databases Web of Science and Scopus, including the scientific metrics of the journals, including:
- Impact factor: a quantitative bibliographic indicator that is often used as a measure of the relative importance and impact of a journal in a given scientific field. It is determined annually for journals that are indexed in Web of Science (Clarivate) and is published, along with other indicators, in the journal’s profile in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). It is calculated by dividing the number of articles cited by a journal in a 2-year period by the total number of articles published in that journal in that 2-year period.
- Quartile: Within each scientific field, journals are distributed by quartiles (Q). Each scholarly journal falls into one of four quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4), with Q1 for the highest ranked journals and Q4 for the lowest ranked journals. Information on a journal’s respective quartile is available in both Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Scimago Journal & Country Rank (based on Scopus data).
- Impact Rank (SJR): an indicator that takes into account both the number of citations received by a journal and the prestige of the journals from which the citations come.It is calculated annually and can be checked in the publicly available online portal Scimago Journal & Country Rank (based on data from Scopus).
We prepare an official report including a list of retrieved results and attach copies from the relevant databases.
