*Journal Citation Reports (JCR): Clarivate Announces Changes to Journal
Impact Factor Category Rankings*

Over the past few years, we have implemented a series of policy changes for
the Journal Citation Reports (JCR)™ aimed at aligning coverage between the
Web of Science Core Collection™ and the JCR, providing more transparency of
the data underlying JCR metrics encouraging a more inclusive, more holistic
way of comparing journals.

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

(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.
