SCImago Journal Rank and Source Normalized Impact per Paper Performance of De Gruyter’s Open Access Journals

Similar to an increase in the average SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) levels of De Gruyter’s Open Access journals between 2015 and 2016, in 2018 the SJR and SNIP metrics has exceeded their levels for previous years, such as 2016. At the same time, cross-indicator variation in the movements and levels of these impact metrics is likely to be due to the changing composition of the Open Access journal portfolio, as represented by Scopus, and the differences in the methodology of their calculation. A Blog Article by Pablo Markin. The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) […]

The Output and Impact Factor Performance of Open Access Journal Portfolio of De Gruyter between 2014 and 2018

As output and performance data concerning De Gruyter’s Open Access journals for recent years suggest, launching journals as Open Access titles increasingly serves as significant precondition for attaining high levels of impact factor performance.

CiteScore Statistics Show the Growing Performance of De Gruyter’s Open Access Journals in Recent Years

As analyses of the year-to-year index-level performance of the Open Access journals of De Gruyter indicate, narrow-scope Open Access journals have tended to outperform their more recently launched, broad-scope counterparts. A Blog Article by Pablo Markin. CiteScore is a metric developed by Elsevier, to reflect the citation impact of individual academic journals. This metric, thus, assesses the average number of citations that journal articles receive over the preceding three years based on the information from the Scopus database. Based on the international journal metrics of Scopus, in recent years the Open Access portfolio of De Gruyter comprising indexed journals has […]
