Thomson Reuters Announces New 2011 Journal Citation Reports
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
JCR Uncovers the Impact and Influence of Scholarly Journals in its Largest
Release
_
Philadelphia, PA, June 28, 2012- The Intellectual Property & Science division of
Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for
businesses and professionals, today announced the release of the 2011 Journal
Citation Reports(®) (JCR), the world's most influential resource for information
on highly cited, peer-reviewed publications and the source of annual Journal
Impact Factors.
The 2011 release, with separate editions for Science and Social Sciences,
features the largest-ever JCR with 10,677 journal listings in 232 disciplines;
2,552 publishers from 82 countries are represented. A total of 528 journals
receive their first Journal Impact Factor in this latest JCR release.
The JCR includes a combination of impact and influence metrics, and millions of
cited and citing journal data points that comprise the complete journal citation
network in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science's Science and Social Science
indexes, enabling its users to have an accurate view of each journal's ranking
in the world of scholarly literature.
Since its inception in 1975, the JCR has grown steadily. The first JCR was
released as a tool for assessing the performance of the world's leading
scientific journals. Its first edition included 2,630 journals. The Social
Sciences were included in the JCR in 1977, adding 1,285 additional journals that
year. Throughout its 37- year history, the JCR has made continual updates to
ensure that both coverage and indicators accurately reflect the changing trends
in global research. The various metrics and detailed citation information
included in JCR provide a multifaceted view of the importance researchers place
on particular journals as evidence by citation. In 2006, Thomson Reuters
launched a special initiative aimed at expanding coverage of Regional
Content. The Web of Science now covers of 2,000 Regional Journals, many of which
have appeared in the JCR for the first time in recent years.
"Since its inception and with every subsequent release the JCR has facilitated
discovery for its worldwide subscribers." said James Testa, vice president of
editorial and publisher relations at Thomson Reuters. "Thomson Reuters is fully
aware of the importance of JCR in the scholarly community and is dedicated to
the production of reliable metrics that can be used effectively in the ongoing
selection of the world's top-tier international and regional journals - journals
that exemplify the quality demanded by our users worldwide."
The JCR offers librarians, publishers, authors, researchers, universities,
institutions and bibliometricians a systematic, objective means to critically
evaluate the world's leading journals with quantifiable, statistical information
based on citation data.
Journal Selection decisions for the JCR are made throughout the course of a year
with the goal of identifying, evaluating and selecting the most important and
influential international and regional journals for coverage in the Thomson
Reuters Web of Science platform. Once citations are available for a minimum 2-
year period of time, these data are then analyzed and published in the JCR.
