How to compare Physics journals
A broad research area can contain specialties with very different citation patterns. Start with the most relevant subsubject, then compare JIF, five-year JIF, JCI and quartile information alongside the journal's aims and scope, indexing, editorial standards, readership and publication model.
JIF
A journal-level citation measure that is most informative when comparing journals in related fields.
JCI
A field-normalized journal metric that provides another perspective on citation impact.
Quartile
A relative position within a category. Internal subjects on this site are not official JCR categories.
Read the journal metrics guide Compare journals side by side Look up a journal by ISSN
