2. Search for your name variants (e.g. Smith R A OR Smith Roger A)
3. Click on the journal title in the result.  The impact factor and quartile information will appear.  Unfortunately, this data is not downloaded with Web of Science records.
4. Repeat for each journal and calculate the percentage and number in Q1/Q2 journals manually
 

Note : InCites will display these figures for you in the researcher profile, however you have to establish a ResearcherID account and save all your papers to a ResearcherID account first.  This option is found under the “Save to ..” Options at the top of Web of Science result sets.  It is usually easier to calculate this figure manually
