Journal Citation Reports This link opens in a new window
Tool for comparing and evaluating citation data from journals in the sciences and social sciences.

FREE ACCESS: Journal Ranking Search - Eigenfactor: The Eigenfactor Metrics
The Eigenfactor Score calculation is based on the number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year, but it also considers which journals have contributed these citations so that highly cited journals will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. References from one article in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactor Scores are not influenced by journal self-citation.

REMINDERS
