Neutrality

Expertise

  • Consistent. Clear. Impartial.
    The Thomson Reuters Journal Selection Process is applied consistently across 3300 publishers, and is “Publisher-Neutral” – evaluating research produced by Commercial, Society, Open Access publishers, and more.

  • Trust through neutrality.
    Journal performance metrics can have a significant impact on the business and future direction of a publication. Because Thomson Reuters is not a journal publisher, we have no vested interest in the performance outcomes for any individual journals. We offer unbiased metrics to the scholarly community, and remain free from proprietary involvement. We simply provide the facts.

  • What you see is what you get.
    Thomson Reuters commits to full content indexing, capturing all substantive source items and all of their cited references. We never misrepresent partial coverage as full coverage.
    That means you can be sure the data and metrics you see in the Journal Citation Reports are complete.
    No gaps. No guesses.
