Journal Citation Reports

Journal Citation Reports is the recognised authority for evaluating journals using citation data drawn from over 8,000 scholarly and technical journals from more than 3,300 publishers in over 60 countries. Citation and article counts are important indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals.

Journal Citation Reports can show you the:

  • Most frequently cited journals

  • Highest impact journals in a field

  • Largest journals in a field

Authors who wish to publish their research can identify journals that have a high citation impact factor score (CIFS).

Journal Citation Reports have ranked the following Geography journals (impact factor in brackets) for 2009. These are the latest available figures as of September 2010.
