JCR® Web with expanded coverage and analytical capabilities – now available!

The 2004 data is now in Journal Citation Reports on the Web. JCRWeb has also been upgraded with enhancements that expand its analytical capabilities beyond the journal level to include categories, making it easier for users to spot trends in journal coverage and facilitate collection management decisions. Enhancements include:

• Category level analysis – Much of the same statistical information available for individual journals is now available for journal categories, for data from 2003 forward. This provides a view of coverage, citation behavior and relationships across an entire subject. Cited Category and Citing Category lists show the most frequently cited journals in the subject. This information helps put a journal’s impact factor into context.
  
• At the journal level, the Source Data table now includes “other” to account for non-scholarly items like news, commentaries, and editorial material – which makes it possible to understand more accurately the size and content of a publication.
  
• Headings have changed from “Country” to “Country and Territory”, making geographic representation more accurate.
  
• Category scope notes are now edition- and year-specific, which ensures that scope notes most accurately reflect the content of each category.
