Journal Citation Reports® on the Web – 60 min
Audience: Librarians, Information Specialists, Researchers, Faculty
Journal Citation Reports® on the Web (JCR®) is a unique multidisciplinary research tool used for journal evaluation. It provides access to quantifiable statistical data that supplies a systematic, objective way to determine the relative importance of journals within their subject categories. This seminar will help you use the JCR to:
* Discover high-impact journals
* Develop and manage journal collections
* Find which journals are cited most quickly (the “hottest” journals)
* Identify journals relevant to a particular area of research
* Determine a journal’s subject orientation and its peer or competitor publications
* Print, save or export data into spreadsheets for convenient and timesaving reporting
