In addition to the data, we are pleased to offer a new indicator and an enhanced interface. The interface enhancement addresses the #1 usability request from customers. Now, users\u2019 selections on the filter panel remain visible so orientation is easy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new indicator, Percent Citable Items, will provide clarity around the proportion of citable items in any given journal. In the example below, 22% of the journal\u2019s content from 2015 is composed of citable items. Additionally, 71% of its references to other journals came from its citable items.<\/p>\n

As Clarivate Analytics, we require that references be phrased as \u201cJournal Citation Reports<\/em>\u201d and \u201cJournal Impact Factor,\u201d (not just \u201cImpact Factor\u201d) and, the first time they are mentioned, to also be acknowledged as being from Clarivate Analytics. For example, \u201c2016\u00a0Journal Citation Reports\u00a0<\/em>(Clarivate Analytics, 2017).\u201d<\/p>\n

The JCR data policy under Clarivate Analytics remains the same. Whenever JCR data is sampled or referenced, proper acknowledgement of the source is required, as outlined above. Wholesale sharing of JCR data outside a subscriber\u2019s institution is strictly prohibited. Use of the JCR data for marketing, public relations, news stories, or publication as part of bibliographic or bibliometric research will require permission from Clarivate Analytics.
