This metric is based only on citations received by a journal and is defined by SJR and SNIP in Scopus. The values at the top 1%, 5%, 10% and 25% are calculated. Tools: SciVal |
I have published regularly in top quality journals, with eight publications in Q1 journals and three in Q2 journals. for my total publications 65% are in Q1 journals.
