Journal Citation Reports
JCR covers over 7000 journal titles from over 3000 publishers worldwide. It contains 2 databases – JCR Science Edition and JCR Social Sciences Edition. Each database covers the most recent year of data available for impact factors (e.g. 2005) plus historical data dating back to 2001. JCR lists journal titles and assigns an impact factor (opens in new window) to each title. JCR is only updated once each year in June/July.
- Science Edition - 5,900+ journals
- Social Sciences Edition - 1,700+ journals
Note: You cannot search more than one edition or year at the same time. The default is Science Edition and the current year.
Comparisons should be for journals in the same field as disciplines vary considerably in their citation methods
You can search in two ways
- by journal title
- by subject category – this allows you to see a list of journals within the same discipline with the option of ranking them by impact factor
Instructions for searching via subject category
- Go to Journal Citation Reports (available from the Library's Database page)
- Select the "JCR Social Sciences Edition" and current year
- Select "View a group of journals by" and then select "Subject Category"
- Select "Submit"
- Scroll down the list of categories to find and select the category: "Education & Educational Research"
- "Submit" your request
- Go to the "Sorted by" option and click on the down arrow to select "Impact Factor"
- Select "Sort Again"
- This will produce a list of titles beginning with the highest impact factor for that category
