Journal Citation Report 2008 Released

by Wayne on June 20th, 2009

Thomson Reuters just announced the Journal Citation Report (JCR) 2008 data. Subscribed users can now access the new database from ISI Web of Knowledge.

JCR is a measure of the quality and popularity of a certain journal among the scientific research community. A direct evaluation can be derived from the impact factor, which is defined as the ratio of (number of citations):(number of publications) on a two-year basis. As a glimpse, the multi-discipline journals, Nature and Science own the impact factor of 31.4 and 28.1,respectively, according to the JCR 2008 database.

The data have been compiled in a PDF file. Please use it for educational purpose only.

An spreadsheet version can also be found here. (Huge data, so you need a fast browser and a fast computer)
