Good citation data is a sign of good scholarship
Good citation data

- citation has to conform to journal style
But citation styles vary a lot for disciplines
Citations in the hard sciences are a lot more formal
Coverage

Impact factor- Measures the frequency with which the average article in a journal
has been cited within a given year
Immediacy Index- Measure of how quickly the average article in a specific journal is
cited
Articles - The number of articles published in a journal in a given year
Cited Half-life- The number of publication years from the current year which
account for 50% of current citations received
JCR : Five Primary DataJCR : Five Primary Data
Finding the most cited journals: journals that received
the highest number of citations in a given year
Finding the largest journals: journals that published the
greatest number of articles in a given year
High Impact journals: journals with the highest average
citations per recent article
‘Hottest’ journals: journals which received most cites
per current article
Identify Review journals
Uses of JCRUses of JCR
Identify journals in which to publish, confirm status of journals in which they are published,
identify journals relevant to their research

The Impact Factor: What is It?The Impact Factor: What is It?
An index of scientific impact or significance
Chief quantitative measure of the quality of a
journal, its research papers, the researchers who
wrote those papers, and even the institution they
work in
one of three measures which index the way a
journal receives citations to its published articles
