תקציר	Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is an annual publication by Clarivate Analytics providing comprehensive citation metrics and performance analytics for journals indexed in Web of Science Core Collection. Launched in 1975, JCR publishes Impact Factor, the most widely recognized journal quality metric, alongside supplementary metrics (5-year IF, Journal Citation Indicator, Immediacy Index, Cited Half-Life, and citation distribution analysis). JCR is the authoritative source for journal ranking, benchmarking, and impact assessment in research evaluation systems globally. Access requires institutional subscription, though some institutions provide free access to affiliated researchers.	SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a prestige-weighted metric measuring journal citation impact based on Scopus data, developed by SCImago Group (a Spanish research consortium) in 2010. Unlike raw citation counts, SJR values citations from high-prestige journals more heavily than those from lower-prestige journals, similar to Google's PageRank algorithm. This prestige weighting approach accounts for field-specific citation cultures and provides fairer cross-discipline comparisons than raw impact factor. SJR is widely used for journal ranking, quality assessment, and publication targeting, complementing traditional Impact Factor with a prestige dimension.
