B) RM & IPR

This document defines and describes several metrics used to evaluate academic journals and researchers, including being indexed in Scopus, the Science Citation Index, journal impact factors, h-indices, and SJR scores. It explains that being included in Scopus means a journal has passed a review process, and inclusion in the Science Citation Index allows researchers to trace the impact of articles. It also defines journal impact factors as measuring a journal's importance based on citation counts, h-indices as evaluating researchers based on both publication quantity and citation counts, and SJR scores as measuring journal prestige based on citation analysis that accounts for source prestige.

10. b) Examine the following.

a). Scopus indexed journals

A scopus indexed journal means that the journal has gone through and passed a review
process of certain requirements done by a journal indexer.

Basically, every institution can be an indexer but in the academic world, an indexer should be
one who is trusted and reputable in doing such a job.

It means that the works published by them in their journals are also cited among the 70 million
other works embedded in the Scopus database.

b). Science citation index

Citation indexes allow researchers to trace the impact of an article upon later publications.

Besides including the bibliographic information about an article (author, article title, journal title,
date, etc.), citation indexes also provide each article's references or bibliography (the list of
sources cited).

c). Journal impact factor

The journal impact factor measures the importance of a journal by calculating the number of
times its articles are cited.

An Impact Factor is one measure of the relative importance of a journal, individual publication,
or researcher to literature and research.

Journal impact factors, citations to publications, h-index of researchers are used to measure the
importance and impact of research.

d). h - index

The h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author's scholarly output and
performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations.

The h index corrects for the disproportionate weight of highly cited publications or publications
that have not yet been cited.

e). SJR (Scimago Journal Rank)

Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) is a measure of the prestige of scholarly journals.


SJR scores are computed using network analysis of citations received by journals.

The methodology accounts for number of citations as well as the source of citations, with
citations from high prestige journals being worth more than those from journals with lower
prestige.

The prestige value depends on the field, quality and reputation of the source journals that citing
article is published in.
