IEEE Journals Continue to Dominate Citation Rankings

The 2011 JCR study, released in June 2012, reveals that IEEE journals continue to maintain rankings at the top of their fields. Below are JCR results for IEEE journals in two major categories, based on three key methods of citation measurement.

Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from a journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year. These results are those generally used and relied upon by technical publications and their stakeholders.

Eigenfactor™ Score takes into account the number of times articles from a journal published in the last five years have been cited in the JCR year while also considering which journals have contributed these citations. High-scoring journals have a greater influence in the scientific community.

Article Influence™ Score formula determines the average influence of a journal's articles over the first five years after publication.

Year after year, IEEE journals are ranked highly across a number of JCR metrics.

Details of current IEEE journal rankings appear below. IEEE titles appear in bold.
