(22 May 2024) This year’s JCR will introduce unified rankings across subject categories. This approach is designed to simplify the evaluation of journal performance by providing a more comprehensive view of each journal’s standing within its respective subject area.
Each subject category ranking will include journals assigned to that category regardless of edition, including the Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI). More than 7,200 journals will have new subject category rankings with full JIF metrics in the JCR 2024 release. Of those, around 7,000 are from ESCI and 200 from the Arts & Humanities Citation Index™ (AHCI). The creation of unified category rankings will provide a simpler and more complete category view for the evaluation of journal performance
