Abstract
“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” Henry Ford […] The Pathway to a High Impact Journal and Scopus Indexation – New Achievement of the International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences
Highlights
The authors showed that national journals from USA, Japan, Brazil, and Iran evaluated after the year they entered Scopus revealed a broadening of the citation impact compared to the overall average.[3]. This is important because International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences (IJCS) will be ranked in Scopus in the cardiology and cardiovascular medicine subject category and can be compared with its partners
Elsevier publishes three journal metrics based on the Scopus citation database: (1) the Source-Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP); (2) the Impact per Publication (IPP); and (3) the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)
Our aim is to increase the impact factor of IJCS so that it will be comparable to that of ABC Cardiol, which recently obtained the highest ranking in its history.[5]
Summary
Inclusion in Scopus promotes long-term changes for a scientific journal; there is an increase in internationalization and an improvement in the impact of the articles.
