Dear colleagues,

Clarivate has released the 2024 update to the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The reports provide a comprehensive resource of high-quality journals, ranked by field to enable academic institutions, researchers and publishers to gauge the significance of journals in the global research landscape.

Only journals that have met the rigorous quality standards for inclusion in the Web of Science Core Collection are featured within the Journal Citation Reports, to ensure that users can confidently rely on the information and descriptive data provided. The annual reports provide a rich array of publisher–independent data, metrics and analysis to enhance user understanding of journal performance, including the widely recognised Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and the Journal Citation Indicator.

Note that 544 scientific journals received a Journal Impact Factor for the first time. Among them, 381 journals are classified as WoS from Russia. In turn, the Tomsk State University Journal of Biology previously indexed in WoS entered Q4 (IF=0.4) in biology and ecology.
