2024 Journal Impact Metrics

Submitted by Cogan Shimizu on 09/18/2024 - 06:16

The 2024impact factors were just released, and the Semantic Web journal is at 3.0 - down a bit from 3.105 last year. We will compare it with the impact factors from the same journals we compared it with in previous years.

First the list of "Web" journals which we generated seven years ago for comparison, together with the new, updated, impact factors (previous in parentheses).

Semantic Web 3.0 (3.0)
ACM Transactions on the Web 2.6 (3.5)
International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems 4.1 (3.2)
International Journal of Web and Grid Services 0.8 (1.0)
International Journal of Web Services Research 1.0 (1.1)
Journal of Web Semantics 2.1 (2.5)
World Wide Web - Internet and Web Information Systems 2.7 (3.7)

Like last year, here are some journals (the same as last year in fact) with overlapping scope.

IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering: 8.9 (8.9)
VLDB Journal 2.8 (4.2)
ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction 4.8 (3.7)
Information Systems 3.0 (3.7)
Multimedia Tools and Applications 3.0 (3.6)
Knowledge and Information Systems 2.5 (2.7)
Data & Knowledge Engineering 2.7 (2.5)
Applied Ontology 2.5 (1.0)

Some journals covering generically larger communities of course rather high impact factors.

Communications of the ACM 11.2 (22.7)
Artificial Intelligence 5.1 (14.4)
Knowledge-based Systems 7.2 (8.8)
IEEE Intelligent Systems 5.6 (6.4)

Also, Google Scholar just updated its conference and journal metrics. We can look at the listing of top ranked conferences and journals - in terms of Google Scholar h5-index - with "Web" in the title, via the live link. A blogpost on the journal IF has been released by Clarivate here.

While this is of course a satisfying ranking for the Semantic Web journal, we want to emphasize that the Google Scholar h5-ranking and the impact factor have to be interpreted with caution, like all such metrics.
