Examples of Journal Metrics

Journal metrics assess the impact of an academic journal. Journal metrics can be useful to help identify high-quality journals to publish in, which in turn can influence the impact your research will have. However, it is important to remember that journal metrics should not be applied to an article, and there is plenty of high-quality research published in lower-ranked journals. 

Guidelines for Evaluating Journals

UlrichsWeb

The AUS Library subscribes to UlrichsWeb - a vital tool for sourcing periodical information
