2018 JCR RELEASE

This release of Journal Citation Reports provides 2017 data. The 2018 data will be made available in the 2019 Journal Citation Reports release.

October 17, 2018 JCR Data update

This release contains an update to the 2017 dataset;  26 journals are added with completed information. The 2017 JCR data (2018 release) is now complete and all updates have been fully incorporated into the product. 

We have made the following improvements to the data and calculations in the JCR journal data. 

• The Article Citation Median and Review Citation Median metrics on the Citation Distribution graph will now show a value “n/a” if no items of that type were counted in the JIF denominator. This allows you to quickly distinguish between a median of 0 (zero), and an absence of any documents of that type.
• Cited half-life and Citing half-life are now calculated to their precise values. Historically, the JCR data would calculate and display a cited half-life up to 10.0 years.  If citations to ten prior years did not account for at least 50% of the citations received, the value displayed was “>10.0” indicating that the half-life was more than 10 years.  Now, we have completed the calculation so that the actual median age is shown.  See Cited Journal data, and Citing Journal data for more details about half-life.

These updates affect 2017 and on-going data years.  They will not apply to prior years. 

October 03, 2018

We are continuously working on making JCR even better with every update and with this release, we are introducing some key features:

• "Printable version" links are now available in the new JCR profile page, allowing users to print the entire page or individual visualizations that could be use as handouts or integrated in your presentations
• The key indicator metrics currently visible in the legacy profile page is now also visible in the new JCR profile page. This ensures a user doesn't have to move back and forth between the legacy profile page and the new profile page.
• Items published in the two years prior to the JIF that received no citations are now displayed in full.  These "Uncited items" constitutes a new metric - as well as reinforcing the variable role of "non-citable" content in the determination of Impact. A The “0 Times Cited” tile shows a breakdown of the uncited items per article, review and "other"; it is now available in the Citation Distribution - Expanded View visualization.

Please review the JCR profile page for detailed updates.
