Journal Citation Reports

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is a resource that evaluates and ranks academic journals based on citation data. It shows how often articles in a journal are cited by other researchers, which indicates the journal's influence and popularity in the scientific community. The most well-known metric in JCR is the Impact Factor, which measures the average number of citations received by articles in a given journal over a specific period. JCR helps researchers choose where to publish their work and assess the quality of journals in their field.
