INTRODUCTION
• In academic publishing, a scientific journal is a
periodical publication intended to further the progress
of science, usually by reporting new research.
• There are thousands of academic and scientific
journals in publication (> 23,000), and many more
have been published at various points in the past.
INTRODUCTION
• Journal ranking is widely used in academic circles in
the evaluation of an academic journal’s impact and
quality. Journal rankings are intended to reflect the
place of a journal within its field, the relative difficulty
of being published in that journal, and the prestige
associated with it.
• They have been recently introduced as official research
evaluation tools in some countries such as Norway,
Australia and France.
• Usually, it is based on indexes/abstracts given by ISI,
SCOPUS, DBLP, Google, etc.
What is ISI
ISI is the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)
was founded by Eugene Garfield in 1960.
ISI Serves
• ISI offered bibliographic database services and its specialty is
on citation indexing and analysis.
• Covering thousands of academic journals, including a
continuation of its longtime print-based indexing service the,
Science Citation Index (SCI),
Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI).
All of these are available via ISI's Web of Knowledge (part of
web of Science) database service.

following databases:
 Biological Abstracts
 Biosis Citation Index

Journal Selection Criteria
(Information Science Institute, ISI).
The evaluation process consists of evaluation of many criteria such as,
- Basic Journal Publishing Standards (including Timeliness of
publication, adherence to International Editorial Conventions,
- English Language Bibliographic Information (including English
article titles, keywords, author abstracts, and cited references.)
- ISI also examines the journal's Editorial Content, the
International Diversity of it authors and editors. Citation Analysis
using ISI data is applied to determine the journal's citation
history and/or
- the citation history of its authors and editors.

EXAMPLE
Cont…..
The ISI also publishes the annual Journal Citation Reports
which list an impact factor for each of the journals that it
tracks.
The ISI also publishes a list of highly cited researchers, one of
the factors included in the Academic Ranking of World
Universities
Impact Factor
 Definition
The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating,
categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one
of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the
"average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year
or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between
citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact
factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of
current year citations to the source items published in that
journal during the previous two years.
 Calculation for journal impact factor.
A= total cites in 1992
B= 1992 cites to articles published in 1990-91 (this is a subset of A)
C= number of articles published in 1990-91
D= B/C = 1992 impact factor

ISI PROCEEDINGS
ISI Proceedings is an index to the published literature of the most
significant conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and
conventions in a wide range of disciplines from anthropology to zoology.
It enables you to track emerging ideas and new research in specific
fields before the material appears in journal literature.
