{{Short description|Metric of academic journals}}
{{Citation metrics}}
'''Journal ranking''' is widely used in academic circles in the evaluation of an [[academic journal]]'s impact and quality. Journal rankings are intended to reflect the place of a journal within its field, the relative difficulty of being published in that journal, and the prestige associated with it. They have been introduced as official research evaluation tools in several countries.

== Measures ==
 
Traditionally, journal ranking "measures" or evaluations have been provided simply through institutional lists established by academic leaders or through a committee vote. These approaches have been notoriously politicized and inaccurate reflections of actual prestige and quality, as they would often reflect the biases and personal career objectives of those involved in ranking the journals; also causing the problem of highly disparate evaluations across institutions.<ref name=LowryMISQ>{{cite journal |ssrn=2186798 |jstor=43825779|last1=Lowry |first1=Paul Benjamin |last2=Gaskin |first2=James |last3=Humpherys |first3=Sean L. |last4=Moody |first4=Gregory D. |last5=Galletta |first5=Dennis F. |last6=Barlow |first6=Jordan B. |last7=Wilson |first7=David W. |year=2013 |title=Evaluating Journal Quality and the Association for Information Systems Senior Scholars' Journal Basket Via Bibliometric Measures: Do Expert Journal Assessments Add Value? |journal=MIS[[Management Information Systems Quarterly|year=2013]] |volume=37 |issue=4 |pages=993–1012 |ssrn=2186798 |jstor=43825779 |doi=10.25300/MISQ/2013/37.4.01}} Also, see YouTube video narrative of this paper at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZQIDkA-ke0.</ref><ref name="auto">{{cite journal YT|ssrn=666145 |doi=10.17705/1jais.00045|title=Global Journal Prestige and Supporting Disciplines: A Scientometric Study of Information Systems Journals|year=2004|last1=Lowry|first1=Paul|last2=Romans|first2=Denton|last3=Curtis|first3=Aaron|journal=Journal of the Association for Information Systems|volume=5|issue=2|pages=29–77LZQIDkA-ke0}}</ref> Consequently, many institutions have required external sources of evaluation of journal quality.

Consequently, several journal-level metrics have been proposed, most [[citation metrics|citation-based]]:
* [[Impact factor]] and [[CiteScore]] – reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals.
* [[SCImago Journal Rank]] – a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
* [[h-index|''h''-index]] – usually used as a measure of scientific productivity and the scientific impact of an individual scientist, but can also be used to rank journals.
** h5-index – this metric, calculated and released by [[Google Scholar]], is based on the [[h-index]] of all articles published in a given journal in the last five years.<ref>{{Citecite journal |last1=Minasny |first1=Budiman |last2=Hartemink |first2=Alfred E. |last3=McBratney |first3=Alex |last4=Jang |first4=Ho-Jun |date=2013-10-22 |title=Citations and thehindexthe h index of soil researchers and journals in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar |journal=[[PeerJ |language=en]] |volume=1 |pages=e183 |doi=10.7717/peerj.183 |pmid=24167778 |pmc=3807595 |issn=2167-8359 |doi=10.7717/peerj.183 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
* Expert survey – a score reflecting the overall quality or contribution of a journal is based on the results of the survey of active field researchers, practitioners and students (i.e., actual journal contributors or readers), who rank each journal based on specific criteria.<ref>{{cite journal |urllast1=http://www.aserenko.com/papers/JOI_AI_Journal_Ranking_Serenko.pdfSerenko |doifirst1=Alexander |last2=Dohan |first2=Michael |year=10.1016/j.joi.2011.06.002 |title=Comparing the expert survey and citation impact journal ranking methods: Example from the field of Artificial Intelligence|year=2011|last1=Serenko|first1=Alexander|last2=Dohan|first2=Michael |journal=[[Journal of Informetrics]] |publisher=[[Elsevier]] |volume=5 |issue=4 |pages=629–648 |url=http://www.aserenko.com/papers/JOI_AI_Journal_Ranking_Serenko.pdf |doi=10.1016/j.joi.2011.06.002}}</ref>
* Top quartile citation count (TQCC) – reflecting the number of citations accrued by the paper that resides at the top quartile (the 75th percentile) of a journal's articles when sorted by citation counts; for example, when a journal published 100 papers, the 25th most-cited paper's citation count is the TQCC.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ooir.org/about.php?section=dataquality#journalleveldata|title=About OOIR: Journal-level data|access-date=2023-03-14}}</ref>
* Publication power approach (PPA) – the ranking position of each journal is based on the actual publishing behavior of leading tenured academics over an extended time period. As such, the journal's ranking position reflects the frequency at which these scholars published their articles in this journal.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi=10.1002/asi.20679| title=A publication power approach for identifying premier information systems journals| year=2008| last1=Holsapple| first1=Clyde W.| journal=Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology| volume=59| issue=2| pages=166–185}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.aserenko.com/papers/Serenko_Jiao_IS_Research_Canada.pdf |doi=10.1002/CJAS.214|title=Investigating Information Systems Research in Canada|year=2012|last1=Serenko|first1=Alexander|last2=Jiao|first2=Changquan|journal=Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences |volume=29|pages=3–24}}</ref>

Thousands of universities and research bodies issued official statements denouncing the idea that research quality can be measured based on the uni-dimensional scale of a journal ranking, most notably by signing the [[San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment]] (DORA), which asked "not [to] use journal-based metrics ... as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles, to assess an individual scientist's contributions, or in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sfdora.org/|title=Home|website=DORA}}</ref> The [[Community for Responsible Research in Business Management]] (cRRBM) asks whether "even the academy is being served when faculty members are valued for the quantity and placement of their articles, not for the benefit their research can have for the world".<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Glick |first1=William |last2=Tsui |first2=Anne |last3=Davis |first3=Gerald |editor-last=Cutler |editor-first=Dave |date=2018-05-02 |title=The Moral Dilemma to Business Research |magazine=BizEd Magazine |url=https://bized.aacsb.edu/articles/2018/05/the-moral-dilemma-to-business-research |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180507120800/https://bized.aacsb.edu/articles/2018/05/the-moral-dilemma-to-business-research |archive-date=2018-05-07}}</ref> Some academic disciplines such as management exhibit a journal ranking lists paradox: on the one hand, researchers are aware of the numerous limitations of ranking lists and their deleterious impact on scientific progress; on the other hand, they generally find journal ranking lists to be useful and employ them, in particular, when the use of ranking lists is not mandated by their institutions.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Serenko |first1=Alexander |last2=Bontis |first2=Nick |year=2024 |title=Dancing with the Devil: The use and perceptions of academic journal ranking lists in the management field |journal=[[ Journal of Documentation]] |volume=in-press |url= http://www.aserenko.com/papers/Serenko_Journal_Rankings_Perceptions.pdf |doi= 10.1108/JD-10-2023-0217|s2cid=266921800 }}</ref>
