1. Key Summary of Journal Citation Reports in 2025
(i) 22,249 journals in 254 disciplines
(ii) More than 6,200 gold open access journals
(iii) Academic journals from 111 countries and regions (including 14,591 natural science journals, 7,559 social science journals and 3,368 humanities and arts journals)
(iv) 618 journals received the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) for the first time
(v) The numerator of the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) excludes the citation and citation data of retracted papers to avoid their impact on the JIF value (retracted papers are still counted in the denominator of the total number of articles). This policy to improve scientific research transparency only affects the JIF values of 1% of journals.
