SJR & SNIP – a new perspective in Journal Metrics. This short video explains how SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) are calculated. SJR and SNIP are considering in which context in which a Journal is performing looking at differences in research areas with different citation behaviours.
The metrics will be refreshed twice a year and cover more nearly 18,000 Journals with peer-reviewed content such as , journals, proceedings, and book series – not trade journals. In other words, all the active peer reviewed source-types will have metrics. In addition, only the peer reviewed content within these peer reviewed sources (articles, reviews and conference papers) is used to generate the metrics.
