Using the data

How to compare Law 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.
