Department of Citation Analysis
|
Introduction: One of the main missions of this department is to identify and evaluate accredited scientific journals in Iran, Islamic countries and other countries in the world. With consideration of geographic and linguistic diversity of intended countries and also considering the difference in scientific level of different countries, the department has ratified and approved journals indexing regulation in ISC. On this basis, journals-as one of the most significant components of the science world- are valued annually in ISC and their status of promotion or demotion in rank is determined every year, for, the revision of journals is the principal pillar of the revision of scientific system. In order to enrich the quantitative and qualitative level of journals, they are evaluated based on the approved regulations and categorized into three lists of core journals, waiting list and master journals. It should be noted that the current journals in each list could be ascended or descended to other levels after periodical evaluations. In order to increase the quality of the evaluation process, ISC has extracted the methods and evaluation process of other credible citation databases and also has tried to standardize the methods of evaluation by adjusting and enhancing the indigenous and Islamic components. |
