2023 Data Update

After the initial annual JCR release is published, the Data Updates section will be updated biweekly with notes about pending additions or adjustments to the JCR data. All changes will be reflected in the JCR application when the dataset is reloaded and closed later in the year. These metrics can be considered official JCR data but are provisional until final publication in the reload.

Users may submit feedback for adjustments to citation and citable item counts. All feedback will be considered and fully investigated. Not all correction requests are eligible for the JCR Reload. Below are updates that are eligible.

JIF Denominator

• Reclassifying document types for JIF denominator items related to citable vs non-citable counts

• Adding missing items to the denominator count

• Removing duplicated items from the denominator count

• Count adjustment due to publication year correction

JIF Numerator

• Unifying citations in the original JCR data set for a missing journal title variant, also known as a cited work variant

Unfortunately, numerator corrections that are currently out of scope for Reload are as follows:

• Any citation not included in the original JCR data set

• Citation where cited work is incorrectly attributed to a different journal in the JCR data

The deadline for submitting feedback for consideration for the reload is August 1, 2024.

Data Reload

Following the release of the JCR data published in June 2023, we received missing materials whose absence had prevented journals from receiving a Journal Impact Factor, as well as to correct metrics for a small number of journals.

A new application update was released today with the focus on moving the existing functionality from the "All years" tab to the new JCR profile page (current year tab). To that effect, we have made the following improvements to the new JCR profile page in this release. 

• Added Cited Journal Data, Citing Journal Data and Metric Trend to the new profile page
• "Graph" option available for each value in the Key Indicator block. The corresponding values are then reflected under the Metric Trend graph. 

We are LIVE with the new URLs below. The legacy Thomson Reuters URL will continue to re-direct to the new Clarivate domain URLs for few more weeks. Please take a moment to update any saved bookmarked links you may have to avoid an interruption in service.

2018 JCR RELEASE

This release of Journal Citation Reports provides 2017 data. The 2018 data will be made available in the 2019 Journal Citation Reports release.

A new application update was released today with the focus on moving the existing functionality from the "All years" tab to the new JCR profile page (current year tab). To that effect, we have made the following improvements to the new JCR profile page in this release. 

• The current view of the JIF contributing items in the profile page lists only 5 citable items and citations. With this release, we have increased this number to 10.
• The citation distribution tile, per requirement, begins with an x-axis value of 1 times cited.  However, this value is not labeled on the axis, causing some user confusion.  Particularly as the y axis does begin at 0 and is labeled that way. To make it more explicit, we are labeling the X axis with this release.
• Re-organized the key indicators tile within the new Journal profile page and grouped them accordingly.
• Added box plot and rank visualizations to the current year Journal profile page
