2019 Data Update

After the initial annual JCR release is published, this 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. The deadline for submitting feedback for consideration for the reload is August 10, 2020.

New Help File

This help page was added to JCR, in line with the pages of InCites B&A and Essential Science Indicators.

All Years in Profile Page

The All Years tab is now available directly in the Journal Profile Page. This had impact on the exporting options and on the pop-ups to display the calculations. The Journal Relationships graphic was refactored to be faster and more intuitive.

Updated JCR Metrics File Available

An update to fix the Eigenfactor and Normalized Eigenfactor values for some journals, was pushed to the JCR metrics files released earlier this week, on November 6. Only JCR subscribers who are entitled can access these files through a username and password.

JCR metrics files with the October reload data are now available in the JCR application. Only JCR subscribers who are entitled can access these files through a username and password.

2018 Data Update

After JCR data were published in June 2019, we were able to obtain materials--which were preventing journals from receiving a Journal Impact Factor--and to correct metrics for a small number of journals. The 2018 JCR data (2019 release) are now complete and all updates are fully incorporated into the product.

During production for the 2018 data reload, we found a small number of expected updates were not successfully implemented in time, and not included in the citation counts for J PEDIAT INF DIS SOC. The following metrics are official data, and include all citations associated with those updates.

J PEDIAT INF DIS SOC

Total citations: 971

Journal Impact Factor: 2.443

2018 Data Update

After the initial annual JCR release is published, this 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. The deadline for submitting feedback for consideration for the reload is August 1, 2019.

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.

  • Federation/Customers software that supports only single entity should NOT update the url until the cutover date (March 22). They will have to perform the change on March 22 or later to continue uninterrupted access to the platform.
  • Federations/Customers software that support upload of the complete metadata can perform these configuration change between now and the cutover date (March 22). Such customers will need to download our metadata from the above location and upload it into their software to continue uninterrupted access to the platform.

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
