Impact Factor® (also known as Journal Impact Factor) is a proprietary product in Journal Citation Reports, owned by Clarivate Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters).

Daemen Library doesn't currently subscribe to Journal Citation Reports. For finding metrics to assist you with comparing journal reach and impact, we recommend using Scimago Journal Rank (SJR), a free and excellent resource. SJR also comes with some added benefits, including:

  • More journals included in rankings (uses data from Scopus database).
  • Measures weighted citations received by the journal. Citation weighing depends on subject field and the prestige (SJR ranking) of the citing serial.
  • Last three years of citations included in calculations rather than just the last two years.
