JCR contains the Journal Impact Factors (JIFs) of journals. The impact factor shows how often an article was cited on average per year.

From the 2022 edition of the JCR (published in summer 2023), also the journals of the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) were given a Journal Impact Factor (IF) for the first time. However, since the journals of the ESCI have a completely different position in the structure of the JCR than those of SCIE and SSCI, these journal ratings are not included in the research portal of the Med Uni Graz. Attention: the journal rankings on the JCR website therefore differ from the internally used rankings!

For further information on the JCR and internal use in the research portal, please see: https://muniverse.medunigraz.at/forschung/forschungsleistungen/forschungsportal/zeitschriftenbewertungen.
