We recorded the 2022 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Journal Impact Factor (JIF) of a journal from the Web of Science. A journal’s JIF is determined by dividing the number of citations to its articles in the previous 2 years by the number of citable articles it published during those 2 years. To measure the quality of a journal, all journals in a particular subject are sorted according to their IF values from the previous year, then divided into four quartiles: Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Journal co-citation occurs when a journal is co-cited (cited together) with another journal in a research paper, often indicating similar topics between the two journals. The journal co-citation analysis is used to determine the most influential journals.
