Comparison of Journal Citation Reports and Scopus Impact Factors for Ecology and Environmental Sciences Journals.: Theme: All Topics
Open accessAbstract
Impact factors for journals listed under the subject categories "ecology" and "environmental sciences" in the Journal Citation Reports database were calculated using citation data from the Scopus database. The journals were then ranked by their Scopus impact factor and compared to the ranked lists of the same journals derived from Journal Citations Reports. Although several titles varied significantly in impact factor and rank, the Journal Citation Reports and Scopus lists had a high degree of statistical similarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

“We collected the most recent impact factor of each journal from Journal Citation Reports (JCR); for journals without an impact factor in JCR, we used the most recent Scopus 2year impact score, as JCR and Scopus impact factors have been found to be similar (Gray and Hodkinson, 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
