What is Scopus is a bibliographic database containing abstracts and citations for academic journal articles. It covers nearly 21, 000 titles from over 5, 000 publishers, of which 20, 000 are peer-reviewed journals in the scientific, technical, medical, and social sciences. . http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/SCOPUS

OUTSTANDING RESEARCHERS

What is ISI is the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) was founded by Eugene Garfield in 1960.

ISI Serves ISI offered bibliographic database services. Its specialty: citation indexing and analysis, a field pioneered by Garfield. It maintains citation databases covering thousands of academic journals, including a continuation of its longtime print-based indexing service the, Science Citation Index (SCI), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI). All of these are available via ISI's Web of Knowledge database service

Cont…. . The ISI also publishes the annual Journal Citation Reports which list an impact factor for each of the journals that it tracks. The ISI also publishes a list of highly cited researchers, one of the factors included in the Academic Ranking of World Universities published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

�Definition Impact Factor The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years. �Calculation for journal impact factor. A= total cites in 1992 B= 1992 cites to articles published in 1990 -91 (this is a subset of A) C= number of articles published in 1990 -91 D= B/C = 1992 impact factor

Journal Ranking • In academic publishing, a scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by reporting new research. • There are thousands of academic and scientific journals in publication (> 23, 000), and many more have been published at various points in the past.

INTRODUCTION • Journal ranking is widely used in academic circles in the evaluation of an academic journal’s impact and quality. Journal rankings are intended to reflect the place of a journal within its field, the relative difficulty of being published in that journal, and the prestige associated with it. • They have been recently introduced as official research evaluation tools in some countries such as Norway, Australia and France. • Usually, it is based on indexes/abstracts given by ISI, SCOPUS, ERA, DBLP, Google Scholar, etc.

Journal Selection Criteria (Information Science Institute, ISI). The evaluation process consists of evaluation of many criteria such as, Basic Journal Publishing Standards (including Timeliness of publication, adherence to International Editorial Conventions, - English Language Bibliographic Information (including English article titles, keywords, author abstracts, and cited references. ) - ISI also examines the journal's Editorial Content, the International Diversity of it authors and editors. Citation Analysis using ISI data is applied to determine the journal's citation history. citation history of its authors and editors.

What is Q 1 and Q 2 Journals Journal Citation Ranking and Quartile Scores Based on Impact Factor (IF) data, the Journal Citation Report published by Thomson Reuters provides yearly rankings of science and social science journals, in the subject categories relevant for the journal (in fact, there may be more than one). Quartile rankings are therefore derived for each journal in each of its subject categories according to which quartile of the IF distribution the journal occupies for that subject category. Q 1 denotes the top 25% of the IF distribution, Q 2 for middle-high position (between top 50% and top 25%), Q 3 middle-low position (top 75% to top 50%), and Q 4 the lowest position (bottom 25% of the IF distribution).
