Additional Journal Ranking Lists

Some discipline areas are not indexed sufficiently in Journal Citation Reports for it to be a useful evaluation tool. Following are some alternative reputable resources for use particularly within the humanities and social sciences.

• SCImago Journal and Country Rank is a portal that includes journal and country indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus database. The data is displayed through maps, charts and tables. This site could be used in conjunction with Journal Citation Reports to determine the scholarly merit of a journal within a discipline field.
• European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH) provide international tier ranked journal lists within discipline fields. Includes some Australian journal titles.
• Washington and Lee University School of Law List provides a list of law journals searchable by country and subject.
• Essential Science Indicators ranks scientists, institutions, countries and journals using data from Web of Science. It also identifies fields of intense research activity and emerging research areas and may be used to benchmark within broad areas of research.
