Transparent metrics, clearly labeled
SJR is not Impact Factor. Quartiles are category-specific, and H-index tends to favor older journals.
SJR 2025
Prestige-weighted citation metric from SCImago.
Quartile
Relative placement within a subject category.
Cites/Doc
Two-year citations per document from the source dataset.
H-index
Long-run citation footprint; age-sensitive by design.
Economics and finance journal rankings, explained
JournalTarget helps researchers narrow a large journal list using comparable signals rather than a single score. Search by title, publisher, ISSN, or abbreviation; then filter by field, subfield, quartile, open access status, and publisher.
How to choose a journal
Start with subject fit, then check the journal’s quartile, recent citation profile, publication volume, access model, and official author guidelines. SJR, H-index, and Cites/Doc answer different questions, so they should be read together rather than treated as interchangeable rankings.
Popular journal searches
Journal ranking questions
Is SJR the same as Impact Factor?
No. SJR is a prestige-weighted citation metric based on Scopus data. Journal Impact Factor is a separate Clarivate metric.
What does Q1 mean?
Q1 means the journal is in the top quarter of titles within a specific subject category. One journal may have different quartiles across categories.
Does a higher H-index always mean a better journal?
No. H-index reflects a long publication history and citation footprint, so older journals often have an advantage.
Can I compare two journals?
Yes. Choose Compare beside any journal, then select a second title to see key metrics side by side.
