Dear Readers,

Journals Suppressed from 2020 JCR Data (2021 release) are available.

1. JCR Suppression Lists 2020

The Journal citation (JCR) helps to find relevant, reputable journals for potential publication of your research based on an analysis of tens of millions of citation connections in the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, and the ESCI. Journal Impact Factor and 5-Year Impact Factors are not published for the titles listed below due to anomalous citations patterns. These patterns result in a significant distortion of the Journal Impact Factor and rank that does not accurately reflect the journal’s citation performance in the literature. You can check the JCR Suppression Lists before submission.
