JCR for various years edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

User:Randykitty, could you create a template for Journal Citation Reports for various years (say 2000-present), like

2000-2008 Thompson ISI
- Template
2009-2015 Thomson Reuters
- Template
2016-present Clarivate Analytics
- Template

Both for the plain jane IF, and for the category rankings. If you do that, I'll be able to come up with a very very nifty thing that will save us a lot of headaches. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:24, 22 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, but I'm absolutely helpless when it comes to templates. I'm not even sure what you mean... (I was quite proud that the edit I made the other day to the infobox template turned out to be correct, but that was just changing a wikilink...) What would this proposed template do? List IFs from 2000 on? I'm not sure that's worth our time and effort. Nobody is really interested in old IFs. I think I've seen once or twice that a journal lists IF's over the last couple of years, but >99% of journals just list the current year IF. That's also the only statistic that authors are interested in... --Randykitty (talk) 09:14, 22 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Randykitty: I mean if you give citation templates with pre-filled generic information about JCR. Like

2016-2018 IF

JCR: According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of xxx.^[1]
JCR with ranking: According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of xxx, ranking it xxth out of xxx journals in the category "CATEGORY".^[1]

2009-2015 IF

...
...

1998-2008 IF

...
...

Or whatever the dates are. Then I'll be able to turn those into a one-size-fits-all {{Cite JCR}}. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:41, 22 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Impact factor edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've just replied to a Help Desk question about updating the impact factor for Neuromodulation (journal). I answered the question, but it seems strange to me that we should accept a piece of marketing information in an article that is sourced only to the publisher. Is this the norm for our handling of academic journals? --ColinFine (talk) 21:12, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
