Journal Metrics

	Journal Metrics There are a wide range of Journal Metrics available and the examples we have provided are available via Web of Science or Scopus. NOTE: It is important to read the requirements of the funding agency or other applications to determine if Journal Metrics will be applicable or allowed. Please see the ARC website for further information. Please use the sub menu for instructions on generating these metrics.
