SCImago JournalRank (SJR) is a ranking based on the transfer of prestige from one journal to another based on Scopus citation data. Calculations are similar to those of the Journal Impact Factor.
Use Scimago when a Journal Impact Factor is not available, or when investigating across different fields and a publication is indexed in Scopus.
