Journal Rankings in Business & Economics

A free journal assessment tool by Elsevier powered by Scopus data. Metrics include Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP); Impact per Publication (IPP); SCImago Journal Rank (SJR).

By SCImago, a research group from Spanish universities. A publicly available portal for assessing and analyzing journal and country ranks. Based on the Scopus citation data.

CiteScore 2016 counts the citations received in 2016 to documents published in 2013, 2014 or 2015, and divides this by the number of documents published in 2013, 2014 and 2015. All types of documents (research articles, review articles, conference proceedings, editorials errata, letters, notes, and short surveys) are included in the CiteScore calculation. Although articles in press are included in Scopus they are not included in the calculation. Calculated annually.

SJR is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from. Inspired by Google PageRank algorithm.

SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa. It is defined as the ratio of a journal's citation count per paper and the citation potential in its subject field. it is normalized to allow direct comparison of sources in different subject fields.

The h index expresses the journal's number of articles (h) that have received at least h citations. It quantifies both journal scientific productivity and scientific impact and it is also applicable to scientists, countries, etc.
