What is JCR category rank?
A journal’s quartile ranking is determined by comparing a journal to others in its JCR category based on Impact Factor score. If a journal falls in Q1, it means that the journal performs better than at least 75% of journals in that category, based on its Impact Factor score. Q1 is shorthand for the first quartile or the top 25% of a subject area. These ratings are updated yearly and usually run on a three or four year cycle (i.e. they rate journals based on their performance over the last three or four years). Q1 is occupied by the top 25% of journals in the list; Q2 is occupied by journals in the 25 to 50% group; Q3 is occupied by journals in the 50 to 75% group and Q4 is occupied by journals in the 75 to 100% group. The most prestigious journals within a subject area are those which occupy the first quartile, Q1. Tier 1. High category (3.5-4) Peer-reviewed publications in one of the following: • Journal with Impact factor that falls in the top 25 percentile ranking based on the impact. factor within the subject, discipline, or sub-disciplinary category (refer to APPENDIX. Q1 is occupied by the top 25% of journals in the list; Q2 is occupied by journals in the 25 to 50% group; Q3 is occupied by journals in the 50 to 75% group and Q4 is occupied by journals in the 75 to 100% group.
What does JCR stand for?
Journal Citation Reports (or JCR) is a product of ISI Web of Knowledge and is an authoratative resource for impact factor data. This database provides impact factors and rankings of many journals in the social and life sciences based on millions of citations. What is ISI Journal Citation Reports® on the Web? ISI Journal Citation Reports on the Web (JCR® Web) provides a systematic, objective means to critically evaluate the world’s leading research journals. JCR summarises citations from more than 10,000 journals and proceedings in the sciences and social sciences indexed in the Web of Science database. One of the most important differences between SJR and JCR is the access that they provide: JCR is a paid-for tool which is accessed via the Web Of Science platform. The database of citations on which it is supported – the Web Of Science Core Collection – is also a paid-for service. SJR is free of charge. A journal’s quartile ranking is determined by comparing a journal to others in its JCR category based on Impact Factor score. If a journal falls in Q1, it means that the journal performs better than at least 75% of journals in that category, based on its Impact Factor score. Scopus.com Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature – scientific journals, books and conference proceedings.

This database provides impact factors and rankings of many journals in the social and life sciences based on millions of citations. Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature – scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Journal Citation Reports (or JCR) is a product of Clarivate Analytics and is an authoritative resource for impact factor data. You can find a journal’s impact factor by referring to the Journal Citations Report (JCR) or Scopus. 🍋 What is an average ‘good’ impact factor? In general, the impact factor of 10 or higher is considered remarkable, while 3 is good, and the average score is less than 1. Over 11,500 titles from the Science Citation Index-Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index are covered in JCR. The Science and Social Science editions of JCR are released annually. Notably, the JCR 2022 is estimated based on the indicators of 2021. The highest scientometric indicators according to Journal citation reports 2022 in the world belong to CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (Wiley Online Library) with an impact factor of 286.130, JCI – 76.09. It is known to be the best abstraction and citation database for peer-reviewed journals. So, if a Scopus indexed journal is said to be Scopus indexed, it means that the works published by them in their journals are also cited among the 70 million other works embedded in the Scopus database.
