You can find journal impact factors through databases that track citation data and journal rankings. 

USC Libraries subscribes to two databases that specialize in journal impact factors:

  • Journal Citation Reports (JCR): Allows you to search by journal title or browse by subject area.
  • Scopus: Offers journal metrics such as CiteScore, SJR (SClmago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper).

For more information, consult the Research Impact Guide or contact Valerie Vera, the Research Impact Librarian.
