SCI-indexed journals and Q1-indexed journals have been generally considered as the top journals from Thomson Reuters and SCImago, respectively. However, I wonder which one is better and more prestigious.
Can anyone help me understand about this?
Thank you very much.
Hi,
SCIE has an adjacent database, the Journal Citation Report (JCR), that index and analyzes journals using various metrics. Only journals that were indexed first in SCIE and SSCIE will be included in JCR. The JCR includes journals from many disciplines, and the Q1 journals are those that are among the top ten or twenty of each discipline. The JCR divide the journals of each discipline to quartiles, Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. This division is by journal's impact factor. So, if a journal is among the Q1 group, this means that it has a high Impact factor within its specific discipline.

Thank Avishag Gordon for the valuable answer.
Can you or anyone please clarify for me how are SCI Journals chosen from JCR?
Thank Philippe for the informative reply.
I have not yet understood clearly about criteria for determining SCI Journals. Could you or anyone please explain what criteria are used to select SCI Journals?
Best regards,

Dear friends
I think that only journals indexed within SCIE (JCR=having IF of Thomson Reuters) allow high and respectable visibility of the published papers.
Although other data bases try to establish their own indexes, IF (JCR) is still the one allowing to evaluate the value of a journal.

Q1 indicates top quality or ranking or high impact journal in a particular area. SCI/SCIE indicates reliable journal may vary from Q4 to Q1 (Q4, Q3, Q2, Q1).
