Identity
Journal title, ISSN/E-ISSN, publisher and country are checked as separate fields.
For Journals
Coverage, calculation and correction without mixing the three together.
A journal can be present as a broad Record, evaluated in Index, or visible in Core. Its profile then explains identity, annual quartile placement, citation windows and quality signals.
Coverage and methods are continuously updated as new evidence and corrections are verified. Submit supporting evidence to admin@scientificworthindex.com.
What coverage means
Coverage begins with a resolvable journal identity and usable publication/reference evidence. Presence in Scientific Worth Index does not claim official inclusion in Web of Science, Scopus or another third-party database. The Journal Rank page and each profile state what the current SWI dataset can support.
Publication evidence
Available article years define the profile timeline.
Citation evidence
External and self-citation signals are kept distinguishable.
Core, Index and Record
The broad monitored journal registry.
The evaluated middle layer with sufficient connected evidence.
The strongest visibility layer in the current SWI model.
Calculation details are maintained separately on the Methodology page.
How a journal profile should be read
| Profile area | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Identity | Is this the intended journal and identifier set? |
| Current indicators | What does the latest available evidence show? |
| Quartile and trend | How has visible placement changed across years with data? |
| Citation windows | How do recent and longer citation horizons differ? |
| Quality and risk | What contextual signals require closer inspection? |
| Annual indicators | Which values support each displayed year? |
The public term is Quartile, and the profile must not display empty years as if they were measured zeros.
Data updates
Ranking and profile pages should show their data generation date and available-year coverage. When source records change, affected identities and indicators can be rebuilt. A visual redesign does not alter published data by itself; data revisions require evidence and recalculation.
Corrections, objections and inclusion questions
Include the journal profile URL, exact title, ISSN/E-ISSN, the disputed field or year, and a primary supporting source. For calculation questions, identify the indicator and year so the evidence path can be reproduced.
