Oncotarget Ranking

SJR (SCImago Journal Rank): 1.373
Quartile: Q1
Cite Score: 10.4
SNIP: 1.07

The SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) measures citations weighted by prestige. It is useful for comparing journals within the same field, and forms the basis of the subject category ranking. A journal SJR indicator is a numeric value representing the average number of weighted citations received during a selected year per document published in that journal during the previous three years, as indexed by Scopus. Higher SJR indicator values are meant to indicate greater journal prestige. SJR is developed by the Scimago Lab, originated from a research group at University of Granada. Q1 journals are cited more often and by more prestigious journals than those in the other quartiles.

Each subject category of journals is divided into four quartiles: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. Q1 is occupied by the top 25% of journals in the list; Q2 is occupied by journals in the 25 to 50% group; Q3 is occupied by journals in the 50 to 75% group and Q4 is occupied by journals in the 75 to 100% group.

CiteScore of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. This journal evaluation metric was launched in December 2016 by Elsevier as an alternative to the generally used JCR impact factors (calculated by Clarivate). CiteScore is based on the citations recorded in the Scopus database rather than in JCR, and those citations are collected for articles published in the preceding four years instead of two or five.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) is calculated annually from Scopus data. It is a sophisticated metric that intrinsically accounts for field-specific differences in citation practices.
