Journals are usually evaluated by means of citation metrics. Today two major journal-based metrics are in competition, i.e the Journal Impact Factor and CiteScore.
As parts of a multi-dimensional basket of metrics, CiteScore metrics help boost confidence in decision making.
Impact Factor is a quantitative metric for evaluating, comparing, and ranking scientific journals in different fields at the national or international level.
Journal Indexing helps maintain the ethics and quality in terms of publication and increase visibility, validity, availability, and readership of a paper.
Publishing articles in high-quality and prestigious journals not only enhances the author’s credibility but also increases the chances of being reached and accessed for his/her articles among others, thereby increasing the number of citations to the article.
Journal metrics are bibliometric indicators focusing on measuring the impact of scholarly journals to allow scholars and researchers to measure, compare, and often rank research and scholarly publications.
Indexed journals are considered to be of higher quality in comparison to any non-indexed journals. Indexed journals enjoy better visibility and accessibility.
