SJR : Scientific Journal Rankings
- lutusp 13y agoThis ranking scheme appears to rely on citations to a given article in other articles, which works all right within one field but isn't very effective when multiple fields are compared. For example, a sociology article with ten citations isn't remotely comparable to a math or physics article with ten citations. Further, the questionable nature of the rankings is apparent from the default list, in which journals of obvious merit are way down the rankings, below journals of much less self-evident standing. The journal Cell ranks 7th, and Nature ranks 14th -- something is clearly wrong.
