Journal metrics are available through Elsevier's Scopus database and provides new and alternative metrics to paint a broader picture of journal prestige and impact. These metrics include CiteScore, Elsevier's equivalent to the Impact Factor, Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR) and the Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP).
More information on these metrics can be found on Elsevier's webs page.
For more information and training videos, please see the Scopus YouTube Channel.
Journal metrics are used to evaluate the quality or caliber of the journal in which articles are published and should not be used to make any assessment at the article level. The Impact Factor and CiteScore is not an indication of article quality.
