Common journal-level metrics measure the impact of journals based on the number of publications and citations received by the journal. Some of the straightforward metrics such as CiteScore or Journal Impact Factor simply measure the average number of citations received by relevant publications in a journal, while other more complex journal metrics like SNIP or SJR perform field-normalization that allows for comparison of journal impact across different subject areas and fields.

Not sure what SNIP, SJR, Journal Impact Factor mean or where to begin? Refer to our Research Impact Measurement libguides' page on Journal-level Metrics to find out more.
