How do I find the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) Percentile of a journal?

The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) Percentile indicates a journal’s relative position in its field. To check it:

  1. Access Journal Citation Reports (requires USP VPN or campus access)
  2. In the search field, look for the journal by title, ISSN or publisher
  3. Click on the journal name
  4. Look for “JIF Percentile”
  5. Consider the most recent data value (currently 2024)

Tip: The JIF Percentile is used to evaluate publication quality in some notices and reports.
