Journal Citation Reports: The Blueprint of Scholarly Impact Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is an annual database published by Clarivate that provides systematic, publisher-neutral metrics to evaluate and rank the world’s leading academic journals. Originally developed by bibliometrics pioneer Dr. Eugene Garfield in the 1970s, JCR aggregates article-level data from the Web of Science Core Collection to give researchers, librarians, and publishers a quantifiable baseline of scholarly influence. Today, it tracks over 22,000 journals across 254 disciplines, serving as the gold standard for navigating the complex academic publishing landscape.
