Research Evaluation Tools

Journal Citation Reports

http://www.lib.ied.edu.hk/cgi-bin/WAMConnMgr?sid=jcr The Library subscribes to Thomson Rueters’s Journal Citation Reports (Science & Social Sciences Edition), a comprehensive and unique resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from over 11,000 scholarly and technical journals from more than 3,300 publishers in over 80 countries. Users can filter the journals by subject and then sort them by impact factor, immediacy index, total cites, current articles, cited half-life, Eigenfactor score, article influence score, or journal title. Journal Citation Reports (JCR) list impact factors for a number of journals. However not every journal is analysed by JCR. If you cannot find the journal title from JCR, please try other sources.

Web of Science (Social Sciences Citation Index and Arts & Humanities Citation Index)

http://www.lib.ied.edu.hk/cgi-bin/WAMConnMgr?sid=isiwos The Web of Science consists of citation databases containing the references cited by the authors of the articles. You can use these references to do cited reference searching. This type of search allows you to find articles that cite a previously published work. Social Sciences Citation Index includes over 2,400 journals across 50 social sciences disciplines with all cited references captured from indexed articles. Arts & Humanities Citation Index contains over 1,300 arts and humanities journals with all cited references captured from indexed articles.

Scopus

http://www.lib.ied.edu.hk/cgi-bin/WAMConnMgr?sid=scopus Scopus is an abstracting and indexing database that includes 18,000 peer-reviewed journal titles in the social sciences, health sciences, life sciences and physical sciences. Apart from getting extensive inter-disciplinary access to journal articles, the database also contains cited references to articles from 1996 onwards. Using citation tracker from the database, a selected journal could be evaluated by looking at its citation counts in the recent years.

SCImago Journal & Country Rank

http://www.scimagojr.com/ The SCImago Journal & Country Rank is a portal that includes the journals and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus database (Elsevier B.V.). The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator shows the visibility of the journals contained in the Scopus database from 1996, and the H index quantifies both journal scientific productivity and scientific impact. These indicators could be used to assess and analyze scientific domains.
