When I select a journal to publish my papers, I see the indexing part of the journal Scimago Journal & Country Rank? As this acceptable around the world or not?
Kind Regards
A journal's SJR is a numeric value indicating the average number of weighted citations received during a selected year per document published in that journal during the previous three years. Higher SJR values are reflect to indicate greater journal prestige.(The SJR indicator provides an alternative to the impact factor (IF))
The SCImago Journal & Country Rank calculates journal influence by looking at both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance of the journal where the citation was published. The SJR indicator is similar to Google Analytic’s PageRank algorithm. This algorithm weights citations from journals according to how highly cited the journal itself is, which differs from the JCR (Journal Citation Reports) which weights all articles identically, regardless of their source. SCImago uses data from SCOPUS, a product similar to the Web of Science, but which covers over 14,000+ journal titles.
Scimago may be used as a simple (without logging in) and free (no subscription needed) tool for checking the rank and quality of the journal.
SJR indicates a measure of scientific importance of scholarly journals that speaks volumes for both the number of citations received by a journal and the influence or prestige of the journals’ citations and where it comes from. A journal's SJR is a value that shows the average number of weighted citations obtained during a chosen period per document published in that journal during the previous three years. Higher SJR values indicate greater journal importance
