An Introduction to JCR

 

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) (https://jcr.isc.gov.ir/main.aspx) is derived from international Scientometric standards and is an essential tool for in-depth analysis and ranking of scholarly and professional journals. This tool covers different languages including Persian, English, French, and Arabic. By analyzing citations, Islamic World Journal Citation Reports measures research influence and impact at the journal and category levels and shows the relationship between citing and cited journals. Exploring the impact and influence of the Islamic World’s leading scholarly journals is possible by performing direct comparisons of titles using trend analysis.  This Product helps researchers keep up with the latest bibliometric developments, track publication and citation patterns to aid strategy and policy making, identify the most influential journals in which to publish articles, determine journal’s influence in the marketplace and review editorial functions.

  • Evaluating and ranking journals based on scientometric criteria
  • Systematic and objective review of the Islamic World’s leading journals
