Using Journal Citation Reports

How to search

Journal Citation Reports is composed of two sub-databases: JCR Science Edition and JCR Social Sciences Edition. Online searches of JCR can go back to the 2003 edition at the earliest. Within each edition, you can search by subject, publisher, or country of publication; browsing of each sub-database is also supported. To search, selected an edition and then method of search from the options on the right.
