[Clip] Recent changes to the JCR have included the addition of profile pages for journals indexed in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)™ and Emerging Sources Citation Index (EHCI)™ and the introduction of the Journal Citation Indicator <https://clarivate.com/blog/introducing-the-journal-citation-indicator-a-new-field-normalized-measurement-of-journal-citation-impact/?campaignname=A&G_JCR_2024&campaignid=7014N000002NXGiQAO&utm_campaign=A&G_JCR_2024&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Earned_Press> (JCI) in 2021. The JCI is field-normalized to facilitate the comparison of journals across different disciplines, including the arts and humanities. We also extended the Journal Impact Factor (JIF)™ to AHCI and ESCI journals in 2023 so that it now encompasses all quality journals in the Web of Science Core Collection. https://www.infodocket.com/2024/02/16/journal-citation-reports-jcr-clarivate-announces-changes-to-journal-impact-factor-category-rankings/ The blog post is here: https://clarivate.com/blog/2024-journal-citation-reports-changes-in-journal-impact-factor-category-rankings-to-enhance-transparency-and-inclusivity/
