Impact indicators

It is a tool included in the Web of Science (WoS) platform of Clarivate Analytics. It provides quantifiable citation statistics.

It can be consulted online from 1997 onwards.

This is the oldest and most highly valued indicator by research assessment bodies. It measures the frequency with which the articles of a journal, for a period of 2 years, have been cited in the following year. It has two editions: Social Sciences Citation Index and Science Citation Index.

New standardised metric in its field for all journals in all categories. Journals from the Arts & Humanities Citation Index and Emerging Sources Citation Index have been included, in addition to the two traditional collections (SSCI and SCIE).

Other factors

  • SCImago Journal Country Rank (SJR). Developed by the SCImago group from Scopus data. It includes a series of scientific indicators for journals and countries. The subject, quality and reputation of the publication has a direct impact on the citation value (H-index and Quartile).
  • Scopus Journal Analyzer: from Scopus. It has two metric indices: SJR and SNIP (Source-Normalized Impact per Paper): it measures the contextual impact of citations by weighting them according to the total number of citations in a given subject area. Interesting for research areas with lower citation probability.
  • Dialnet Metrics. Dialnet Metrics is a portal that, based on the analysis of the bibliographic references cited in existing publications in Dialnet, offers a set of indicators to help identify the relevance of scientific production. The main core is a bibliometric index that analyses the impact of journals in the various disciplines of Social Sciences and Humanities, but it also includes indicators for each of the publications, the researchers and the institutions to which they belong.
  • IN-RECH. List of Spanish journals in the human sciences with Impact Index 2004-2008. Index subdivided into subjects, with a ranking of journals according to the number of citations.
  • IN-RECS. Lists of social science journals with impact index 1996-2011, which can be viewed by year or cumulatively. Index subdivided into subjects, with a ranking of journals according to the number of citations.
  • IN-RECJ. List of legal science journals with impact index 1996-2011. Index subdivided into subjects, with a ranking of journals according to the number of citations. Produced by the EC3 Group (and EPUC in the case of IN-RECH). Not updated since 2014.
  • Citations in Economics (CitEC). Citation analysis of the documents included in Repec. Includes a ranking with the IF of journals and working papers.
  • Google Scholar Metrics (GSM). It offers an impact index of scientific journals measured according to their h-index, allowing the 100 most cited journals in the world to be consulted by language of publication. Spanish journals are ordered by the h-index calculated between 2007-2011. The most cited articles of each journal can also be viewed. Journals published in English can be consulted according to areas and disciplines.
  • H index of Spanish scientific journals according to Google Scholar Metrics (2011-2015). Ranking carried out by the EC3 group to overcome the limitations of GSM. It organises the Spanish journals listed in GSM by scientific fields and disciplines and orders them by H-index. It aims to check the breadth of Google Scholar Metrics' coverage of Spanish scientific journals.
