Scholarly Communication (Publication & Dissemination of Research)
If you need to learn the JIF (Journal Impact Factor) or ranking of a journal, Journal Citation Reports is the place to start. Cabell's will give additional information (acceptance rate, estimated time for review and publication) about some journals in a limited number of fields of study. If you can't find information about the journal you are interested in, contact your subject librarian.

Journal Citation ReportsJournal Citation Reports offers a systematic, objective means to critically evaluate the world's leading journals, with quantifiable, statistical information based on citation data. By compiling articles' cited references, JCR helps to measure research influence and impact at the journal and category levels, and shows the relationship between citing and cited journals.
