Contents

JCR is an important tool for journal evaluation on the basis of citation data, gathered from more the 8,400 internationally renowned scientific and professional journals. Impact factors are published annually in two editions: JCR Science Edition (JCR SE), which contains data from science and technology journals, and JCR Social Sciences Edition (JCR SSE), which includes data from social sciences journals.

In the COBISS.SI system, corrections, fewer than 1 promile, are integrated in the database; they refer to supplemented impact factor data and the creation of new records (e.g. record for serial subseries).
