set.
Regions and countries
Journals can be retrieved for all regions and countries or for each of the regions and
countries separately.
Year
Source year for obtained values.
Order by
The result sets can be ranked by every indicator available: SJR, H Index, Total
Documents, Total Documents (3 years), Total References, Total Cites (3 years), Citable
Documents (3 years), Cites per document (2 years) and Reference per Document.
Display journals with at least
It offers the possibility to set a threshold for the number of citable documents or total
cites.

Every journal can be analyzed separately, just click the journal title's link (either from the journal
search results or from the journal ranking list) to obtain an individual profile including time
series tables and charts to analyze significative metrics of journal performance.
The individual profile offers: the country of the journal, subject area, subject category, publisher,
publication type, ISSN, coverage, the scope and different indicators.
Indicators offered for each journal: H Index, Quartiles, SJR, Citations per document (4, 3 and 2
years), Total Cites, Self-Cites, External Cites per Document, Cites per Document, International
Collaboration, Citable Documents, Non-Citable Documents, Cites Documents, Uncited
Documents.
The series tables and charts offer the evolution of these indicators from 1999 to 2021. On the
upper part of every chart there is a plus symbol, which you can click to get the indicator

SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) indicator

 It expresses the average number of weighted citations received in the selected year by the
documents published in the selected journal in the three previous years, --i.e. weighted
citations received in year X to documents published in the journal in years X-1, X-2 and
X-3. See detailed description of SJR (PDF).
H Index
The h index expresses the journal's number of articles (h) that have received at least h
citations. It quantifies both journal scientific productivity and scientific impact and it is
also applicable to scientists, countries, etc. (see H-index wikipedia definition)
Total Documents
Output of the selected period. All types of documents are considered, including citable
and non citable documents.
Total Documents (3years)
Published documents in the three previous years (selected year documents are excluded),
i.e.when the year X is selected, then X-1, X-2 and X-3 published documents are
retrieved. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable
documents.
Citable Documents (3 years)
Number of citable documents published by a journal in the three previous years (selected
year documents are excluded). Exclusively articles, reviews and conference papers are
considered.
Non-citable Docs. (Available in the graphics)
Non-citable documents ratio in the period being considered.
Total Cites (3years)
Number of citations received in the seleted year by a journal to the documents published
in the three previous years, --i.e. citations received in year X to documents published in
years X-1, X-2 and X-3. All types of documents are considered.
Cites per Document (2 years)
Average citations per document in a 2 year period. It is computed considering the number
of citations received by a journal in the current year to the documents published in the
two previous years, --i.e. citations received in year X to documents published in years X-
1 and X-2.
Cites per Document (3 years)
Average citations per document in a 3 year period. It is computed considering the number
of citations received by a journal in the current year to the documents published in the
three previous years, --i.e. citations received in year X to documents published in years
X-1, X-2 and X-3.

Average citations per document in a 4 year period. It is computed considering the number
of citations received by a journal in the current year to the documents published in the
four previous years, --i.e. citations received in year X to documents published in years X-
1, X-2, X-3 and X-4.
Self Cites
