Analysing Source results
CiteScore: Gives an overview of the source by dividing the number of citations to articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters and data papers by the number of publications over a four year publication window. From the example above; CiteScore counted the citations received for the journal - Trends in Food Science and Technology published in 2018-2021, and divided this by the number of publications published within the same publication window (2018-2021). The higher the CiteScore, the more valuable the journal is deemed to be.
Highest Percentile: Indicates how a journal ranks relative to other journals in the same subject field. From the example above; Trends in Food Science and Technology is ranked number 3 out of 338 journals under Food Science subject category. In order to determine the Journal Impact Factor Percentile, the formula below is used:
Citations: These are the number of citations received over a four year publication window. From the example above, the citations cover the years 2018 - 2021.
Documents: These are the number of documents published over a four year publication window. From the example above, the publications cover the years 2018 - 2021.
% Cited: Indicates the proportion of documents that have received atleast one citation for the year in question.
SNIP (Source Normalised Impact of Paper): SNIP was created by Professor Henk Moed at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CTWS), University of Leiden. It measures the ratio of a journal's average citation count and the citation potential of its subject field. This metric is designed to help compare journals across different academic disciplines. SNIP is derived by taking a journal’s citation count per paper and dividing it by the citation potential in its subject field. More information on SNIP.
SJR (SCImago Journal Rank): SJR is calculated by the SCImago Institute in Spain using Scopus data. It measures the number of times an average paper in a particular journal is cited. It is based on the concept of a transfer of prestige between journals via their citation links. More information on SJR.
