In addition, IEEE CS’ fully open access publication, IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society, received its first impact factor in Clarivate's Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI), which features newly launched, niche, and open access journals publishing high-quality research on a range of topics. This is the first year Clarivate included the multidisciplinary ESCI in its JIF review.
“We’re thrilled that IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society had the opportunity to be recognized this year,” said Greg Byrd, IEEE CS VP of Publications. “With the innovative research it brings to the field, it is certain to have a long-standing impact on the computer science and engineering community.”
Impact factor applies not only to scientific and engineering journals but to technical magazines as well. Those IEEE CS publications with the highest impact factor rankings include:
“One of the most important things about impact factor rankings is that they point to the most highly researched topics in the field,” said Patel. “This year, there’s a heavy focus on artificial intelligence, data science, and mobile computing. It will be interesting to watch the evolution of these topics and the advances that arise from papers presented in Computer Society publications.”
JIF rankings are released annually in Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports™ (JCR™). These reports evaluate more than 21,500 high-quality academic journals from across more than 250 scientific and research disciplines.
