01 A new perspective
As publishing and research trends change, the tools used to measure them must also change. The use of journal metrics by journal editors and research institutions becomes more complicated every day. Scholarly publishing can no longer rely on a single metric to serve all of its needs.
SNIP and SJR offer the value of context in the world of citations.
The tools:
- Apply to nearly 18,000 journals, proceedings and book series
- Are refreshed twice per year to ensure currency of metrics
- Eliminate the risk of manipulation
- Correct for citation behavior and database coverage
- Provide multidimensional insights into journal performance
- Allow for a direct comparison of journals, independent of their subject classification
- Are publicly accessible and are integrated into Scopus Journal Analyzer
