The annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR) are one of the most widely-used sources of citation metrics used to analyse the performance of peer-reviewed journals. The most famous of these metrics, the Impact Factor, is based on the frequency with which an average article is cited in the JCR report year. Alongside other metrics, this makes it an important tool for evaluating a journal’s impact on ongoing research.
