Journals and weights

Decide how much a journal’s citations count, then see how the rankings change.

How should citations be weighted?

Journal formula

Ready to use when you select Formula.

A
Median citations of publishing academics
B
Mean citations per publication
N
Number of publications
P
Number of publishing academics

Inputs become percentile ranks from 0 to 1 within this field, then the equation determines weights. A uses academics’ whole-profile citation totals; B uses publication citation counts. All years and visible departments contribute.

Using the institution default

Rankings use the saved weights. Changes stay in this draft until you save.

Journal ranking

866 journals · 30 per page

Compare formula, manual, and applied weights. A weight of 2× doubles a citation’s score. Sort any column across all journals.

1–30 of 866 Saved weights

All journals are tied at weight 1×. Search keeps each journal’s rank across the whole field.

Journal rankings and citation weights. Sort any column across all matching journals; 30 journals appear on each page. A dash means no data is available.

Weighted citations = available citation counts × applied weight. A dash means no citation data; partial totals use the counts available.

Impact on department rankings

All journals currently use 1×. Choose Manual or Formula above to see how weighting changes department totals and ranks. Tied citation totals share a rank.

Department citation totals and ranks before and after weighting. All columns can be sorted.

Citation counts use Google Scholar where available, with OpenAlex as the fallback for CV-backed publications. Totals include available counts; a dash means no citation data.

Coverage and saved defaults

These rankings use all publication years, all academic ranks, and every visible department in the chosen field. Publications require CV or verified Google Scholar support. Citation counts prefer Scholar, with OpenAlex as the fallback for CV-supported works.

Missing citation counts stay unknown. Publications without a journal record use weight 1. The journal formula uses the same field-wide evidence whenever you select it in Department, Faculty, or Career analytics.

Saving changes your own version. Switching between All 1, Manual, and Formula keeps the other settings for later.
