Hello!
Our Friday Update is Here....
As it turns out, many authors don't make the connections between the journal's percentile in Scopus and its quality (ranking quartile). But it doesn't mean there isn't one.
Here is how Scopus divides the journals:
Q4 = percentile 1 to 24%
Q3 = percentile 25 to 49%
Q2 = percentile 50 to 74%
Q1 = percentile 75 to 100%
As you can imagine, the price tags will also vary by quartile.
Usually, low-ranking journals publish low-quality articles that do not have scientific value. One example is reviews.
Articles in the high-ranking journals, on the other hand, are expected to be informative and provide a thorough study of relevant matters, or better - report a discovery
And there is also Web of Science
Journals in some WoS databases come with an impact factor. These include:
Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), which indexes journals in Medicine, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Engeneering and more;
Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), which contains journals in Social sciences, Law, Linguistics, Pedagody, etc.
Journal's index in other databases will not come with an impact factor. And these are:
Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI), which embraces Dance, Music, Cultural studies, Architecture, Philosophy,and other disciplines;
Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), which includes journals from various areas of research.
To put it simple, AHCI and ESCI journals are not given an impact factor. So if you want to get indexed and have impact factor, AHCI and ESCI journals are out of question.
There is one exception to this rule though.
Some journals can be included in two WoS databases, say AHCI and SSCI. In this case, they will come with an impact factor under the category 'Social Sciences Citation Index'.
All ingenious is simple
