We have previously published the video where we thoroughly disclose the meaning of quartile and percentile in modern scientometrics. Today, we have prepared a new material related to finding journal quartiles in Scopus and Web of Science.
Several facts about quartile
- To calculate the journal quartiles for publication with inclusion into Scopus we consider SJR metrics and the impact-factor for Web of Science. It is necessary to mention that only the journals included to two indexes like Web of Science Core Collection: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) may have the impact-factor.
- After each annual determination of citation outcomes, a journal can shift from one quartile to another one increasing or decreasing its status.
- The publication may have several quartiles when registered to different scientific fields.
- We use the definite formula of calculating to find quartile that helps us to allocate publications automatically.
- The scientists mainly rely on legislative acts with requirements for journal publications that have the highest quartile in order to implement their professional activities.
