How are a journal's Q values found?
The impact factor of a journal is directly proportional to the number of citations received by articles published in that journal. It is calculated by dividing the number of articles cited in the past two years in the journal by the total number of articles published in the same two years. About SJR – JCR: In applications for associate professorship and the calculation of academic incentive scores, the quartile classes calculated by SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) should not be considered. Instead, attention should be given to the quartile classes calculated by Clarivate Analytics' Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
In your academic work, you can use our Q value inquiry tool by entering any part of the journal name (at least 3 characters) or the ISSN, eISSN number of the journal in the search section. This will display the quartile class information that will be considered in the Associate Professorship applications and academic incentive calculations of the Interuniversity Board (ÜAK). The data presented here is compiled from the most recently published Journal Citation Reports (JCR) by Clarivate Analytics annually. What is the Q Value Inquiry Tool? You can also use the Q value inquiry tool to find high-quality academic journals related to your work by entering a keyword or ISSN number. The results are listed in order.
The Master Journal List is updated monthly, while the citation reports (JCR) are updated annually. Therefore, journals that have newly entered the index might not be included in any quartile class despite being listed in the index, and they are not shown in the results on this page. You can query the JCR impact factor and Q value of all journals covered by SCIE, SSCI, and AHCI using the Q value inquiry tool.
