Selecting a Quality Journal

Google Scholar Journal Rankings

Google Scholar Top Publications metrics refer to the ranking and impact measurements of academic journals and conferences based on citation data collected by Google Scholar. These metrics are part of the Google Scholar Metrics (GSM) tool, which helps researchers evaluate the visibility and influence of scholarly publications. The data is typically updated annually, and each metric corresponds to a 5-year citation window ending in the year before the current update.
