JCR Training & Certification Program
Aug 2023

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) helps researchers evaluate journals with a multidimensional view of a journal’s impact and influence.

View citation metrics, including the Journal Impact FactorTM (JIFTM) and Journal Citation Indicator^TM, alongside descriptive contributor information and citation relationships.

JCR helps you understand the role of each journal in the evolving scholarly publishing landscape to make informed decisions about manuscript submission, collection development and portfolio management.

The 2023 edition of JCR extends the JIFTM indicator to all the 21,522 journals in the Web of Science Core Collection.


Benefit to researchers: JCR helps you decide if a given journal is a good place for you to publish, as well as show how you have contributed to that journal with your previous articles.

Benefit to a research office or librarian: JCR helps you decide if a given journal is the right journal to add to your library’s collection, as well as how your institution’s researchers are contributing to that journal’s story.

This helps in taking an informed decision for an effective utilization of the library resource budgets.
