To help users best compare journals and discover which are the most significant to them, JCR Web provides these data fields:

• Impact factor: Provides a way to evaluate or compare a journal's relative importance to others in the same field.
• Immediacy index: Measures how quickly the average article in a journal is cited, or how often articles published in a journal are cited within the same year.
• Article counts: The number of articles published in a journal in a particular year.
• Cited half-life: Benchmarks the age of cited articles.
• Source data: Provides information on which journals published reviews versus original research articles and how many references each of these published.
