9. The Journal Impact Factor reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It’s one measure of the relative importance of a journal within its field. High impact factor ~ more important A = the number of times articles published in 2012 and 2013 were cited by indexed journals during 2014. B = the total number of "citable items" published in 2012 and 2013. A/B = 2014 impact factor

10. JCRJCR - Journal Citation Reports from Thomson's InCites/ Web of Science

15. SJR SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) is weighted by the prestige of a journal. Subject field, quality, and reputation of the journal have a direct effect on the value of a citation. Also, SJR normalizes for differences in citation behavior between subject fields. Four years of data are needed to calculate a SJR.For example, if Scopus has complete citation data for a journal starting from 1996, the first SJR value available is for 1999. Learn more IPP Compare the ratio of citations per article published in a journal. The Impact per Publication metric is using a citation window of three years which is considered to be the optimal time period to accurately measure citations in most subject fields. Learn more SNIP SNIP measures a source’s contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. Learn more % Not cited Percentage of documents published in the year that have never been cited to date.
