Journal Citation Reports 2025: Addressing retractions and strengthening research integrity

2025-05-19

From 2025 (2024 data), citations to and from retracted articles will no longer contribute towards the Journal Impact Factor.

Ever since scientists began to communicate the results of their work, they have had to revise and correct their findings, with the first retraction recorded as early as 1756. Articles are retracted for many reasons – ranging from honest mistakes to intentional manipulation – but whatever the reason, retractions play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. They serve as a mechanism for self-correction, ensuring that erroneous or fraudulent results or conclusions do not mislead the public, the scientific community or policy makers – creating an unsound foundation for future discoveries, policies or behavior.

2024 Journal Citation Reports: Changes in Journal Impact Factor category rankings to enhance transparency and inclusivity

2024-02-21

We will move from edition-specific category JIF rankings to unified rankings for each of our 229 science and social science categories.

We will no longer provide separate JIF rankings for the nine subject categories that are indexed in multiple editions. For example, the Psychiatry category is included in both Science Citation Index – Expanded (SCIE)™ and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)™ and we currently publish a separate Psychiatry ranking for each edition. We will replace these separate rankings with a single, unified ranking.

Additionally, the new unified rankings will include journals indexed in ESCI. Using Psychiatry once again as our example – we will display a single Psychiatry ranking that includes journals indexed in SCIE, SSCI and ESCI.
