Understanding Quality Metrics in Scientific Journals: Importance and Implications

This article explores the necessity of quality metrics in scientific journals, addressing pivotal questions such as where to submit a paper and which papers to cite. It emphasizes the role of journal metrics, particularly Source-Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), in providing context and understanding citation impact. SNIP evaluates citation potential within subject fields, while SJR assesses the scientific influence of journals by considering citation count and the prestige of citing journals. Learn how these metrics can guide your submissions and citations effectively.

  2. Quality metrics • Why scientific journals need quality metrics? • Mostly to answer the questions • Where should I submit my paper? • Which papers should I cite in my article? • Journal metrics can help to answer both questions (but more the first) • Article metrics can only help for the second question

  3. Journal M3trics SNIP • Source-Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP)  • contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. • It is defined as the ratio of a journal’s citation count per paper and the citation potential in its subject field.  • http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751157710000039

  4. Journal M3trics: SJR • SJR is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
