(7 Mar 2023) This year, journals from the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)™ and the multidisciplinary Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)™ in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR)™ will receive a JIF for the first time.
As a result of this development, a further 9,000 journals in the JCR will receive a JIF and benefit from an enhanced journal profile page for the first time. In addition, we will display the JIF to one decimal place, rather than the current three decimal places, to encourage users to consider other indicators and descriptive data in the JCR when comparing journals.
Dr. Nandita Quaderi, Editor-in-Chief & Vice President Editorial, Web of Science shares more on what category rankings look like in 2024 here.
