Eigenfactor
- A "relational" indicator, similar to Google's PageRank, which measures the global influence of journals in the Journal Citation Report (JCR). Calculates the level of citations received by a journal in a given period (citations received by articles published in the last 5 years in the current year), depending on whether the citations come from more or less cited journals and therefore more or less influential.
It is considered that a magazine is more influential if it receives citations from other miscellaneous magazines.
Article influence score
- It measures the average influence of a journal article in the next 5 years after its publication and is calculated based on the Eigenfactor, that is, dividing the Eigenfactor of a journal by the number of articles published by the journal. .
Both metrics are based on data from the JCR (Science Citation Index Expanded - SCIE and Social Science Citation Index - SSCI) and excludes data from journals and proceedings (the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, the Conference Proceedings Citation Index, the Book Citation Index and the Emerging Sources Citation Index).
