This article erroneously stated "the impact factor (IF), which is based on data from Scopus." The IF is based on Journal Citation Reports, published by Thomson Reuters. Scopus produces a different set of journal metrics, eg the SCImago journal rank (SJR). |

'''SCImago Journal Rank''' (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of [[academic journal|scholarly journal]]s that accounts for both the number of [[citation]]s received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from. The SJR indicator is a variant of the [[centrality|eigenvector centrality measure]] used in network theory. Such measures establish the importance of a node in a network based on the principle that connections to high-scoring nodes contribute more to the score of the node. The SJR indicator, which is inspired by the [[PageRank]] algorithm, has been developed to be used in extremely large and heterogeneous journal citation networks. It is a size-independent indicator and its values order journals by their "average prestige per article" and can be used for journal comparisons in science evaluation processes.
The ''SJR indicator'' is a free journal metric which uses an algorithm similar to [[PageRank]] and provides an alternative to the [[impact factor]] (IF)
