Research Evaluation Tools

Journal Citation Reports
http://www.lib.ied.edu.hk/cgi-bin/WAMConnMgr?sid=jcr The Library subscribes to Thomson Rueters?s Journal Citation Reports (Science & Social Sciences Edition), a comprehensive and unique resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from over 11,000 scholarly and technical journals from more than 3,300 publishers in over 80 countries. Users can filter the journals by subject and then sort them by impact factor, immediacy index, total cites, current articles, cited half-life, Eigenfactor score, article influence score, or journal title. Journal Citation Reports (JCR) list impact factors for a number of journals. However not every journal is analysed by JCR. If you cannot find the journal title from JCR, please try other sources.
