Known as JCR, the database provides critical evaluation of Social Sciences journals based on citation data, or how often an article is referenced by researchers. JCR is part of the Web of Knowledge/Social Science Citation Index databases.
By sorting by Journal Impact Factor (JIF) using Journal Citation Reports (JCR) you can determine which journals in a discipline are making the greatest contribution to the publishing history of an idea by measuring citation frequencies.
