How to query the impact factor of sci journal?

SCI journal is one of the high academic journals and a world-renowned journal literature retrieval tool. Its impact factor has attracted international attention, and friends who want to contribute to sci journals will also pay more attention. How can I find the impact factor of sci journal journals? Let's take a look at my sharing.


SCI journal impact factor query

The first method is to search in the Web of Science database, which is the most comprehensive and authoritative method. Therefore, Taotao papers are recommended for everyone to use.

The second method is to log on to the JCR website and enter the journal name to find it. But this needs to be ordered to use. If it is a school or a unit, it will be very convenient to query. If it is used by an individual author, it may not be very convenient.

The third method is to use Baidu or Google search engine, this advantage is more convenient and can be seen everywhere. But not necessarily accurate, and sometimes some information may lag behind.


SCI journals are journals with a higher academic level and are a world-renowned journal literature retrieval tool published by the American Institute for Scientific Information. It collects more than 3,700 core journals in various natural science disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, agriculture, forestry, medicine, life sciences, astronomy, geography, environment, materials, engineering technology, etc. published around the world.


The impact factor is an internationally accepted journal evaluation index. Generally speaking, the higher the impact factor, the greater the impact of the journal. The sci journals also follow this principle, so they are divided, namely the JCR division formulated by Thomson Reuters and the SCl division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, both of which are divided based on the impact factor of the journals included in sci.


Chinese Academy of Sciences SCl division: The Chinese Academy of Sciences sci division is divided according to the journal's three-year average impact factor; the first area: the first 5%; the second area: 6%~20%; the third area: 21%~50%; the fourth area: the last 50%;

JCR division: It is to arrange the impact factors of all journals in a certain discipline in descending order, and then divide them into four areas. The proportion of each area is equal, both of which are 25%.

In fact, there is no absolute truth as to which of the JCR and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is more reliable in the SCO division. In fact, both division methods are authoritative and are only used for reference. The most direct method is to see which one your school/unit recognizes.
