About

  • http://www.scimagojr.com/
  • Free web based service, also available within Scopus
  • Provides metrics for journals using data from Scopus. SCImago uses a similar method to Google's PageRank algorithim to rank journals - as such it assigns higher value to citations from more prestigeous journals.

Key metrics

  • The Eigenfactor score which is a measure of the overall value provided by all of the articles published in a given journal in a year.
  • The article influence score which is a measure of a journal's prestige based on per article citations and comparable to JCR's impact factor.

Distinctive features

  • Cost effectiveness calculation. This shows how the cost of a journal titles relates to its impact (Eigenfactor score).
  • Mapping science. This attempts to show the relationship of scientific fields and the top journals in each field through a dynamic mapping feature.
