Journal metrics allow researchers to rank or compare journals through the use of citation data. Key journal metrics such as JIF (Journal Impact Factor) are commonly used by authors to guide decisions about which journals to aim for when submitting articles for publication.
In addition, researchers may wish to contact their Faculty's Research Office for advice on recommended journals in their discipline.
