Journal Citation Reports (JCR), accessed via Web of Science, provides you with the transparent, publisher-neutral data and statistics you need to make confident decisions in today’s evolving scholarly publishing landscape, whether you’re submitting your first manuscript or managing a portfolio of thousands of publications. Users may encounter content in this database the library has not purchased.

SCImago Journal and Country Rank is a portal that includes the journals and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus® database.
Google Scholar Metrics is another source of journal-level metrics. Based on Google Scholar citations it ranks journals grouped by subject categories or language. The metrics used are: h5-index defined as the h-index for articles published in the last 5 complete years. It is the largest number h such that h articles published in 2010-2014 have at least h citations each, and h5-median for a journal is the median number of citations for the articles that make up its h5-index.
