Pure portal:

Scopus journal ratings are not available in Pure portal

Available in reporting:

Metrics available

The list below shows which metrics are provided by the WoS Journal API 

Notice: When running the job, we check each journal for new metrics every 6 months. So if you run your journal metrics job in April, we will check for new metrics again in October.

Manually added to Journal editor (requires subscription - needed for access to the data):

• Category Impact factor
  • Rank
  • Quartile
  • JIP Percentile

Updating metrics:

Metrics from WoS can be added to Pure in 3 ways:

• Synchronised from WoS via the Journal API: 
  • To enable the automatic import of metrics for the WoS Journals API go to: Administrator > Integrations > Web of Science Journal metrics
  • Insert the API key for your institution's subscription to the WoS Journals API. Start the job.
  • Metrics from Pure are added by matching on ISSN numbers in Pure. 
  • Note: 
    • If the journal has more than one ISSN listed in the Pure record, Pure will select the first ISSN in the list when retrieving data from WoS.
    • Similarly, if WoS has more than one record for the same journal, Pure will retrieve metrics from the journal record listed first. For licensing reasons, it is not possible for Pure to merge metrics from multiple external records.
• Uploaded via Spreadsheet:
  • Metrics from WoS Journal Citation report can be uploaded to the journal record in Pure using a CSV file (this can be downloaded from InCites Journal Citation Report).
  • This can be done by navigating to Administration tab → Citations and Impact factors → JCR Impact factors.
  • To upload the metrics use the example file to populate the spreadsheet. All metrics are yearly metrics and should be uploaded to Pure one year at the time, with a new file for each year.
  • Journals are matched by ISSN number.
• Manually adding Category based metrics: 
  • Category-based metrics (Rank, Quartile, JIF Percentile) can be added to the individual journal template manually. 
  • To do so, open the journal in question → Metrics tab → Add metrics → Category Impact Factors.

Available in Pure:

The WoS metrics are stored in the Journal editor.

The rating is shown in the short renderer of a journal (eg. for searching for a journal to add to a Research Output). (Note: this can be adjusted - see: Admin → Journals → Metrics visibility for associated metrics.)

Pure portal:

WoS journal ratings are not available in Pure portal.

Available in reporting:

WoS metrics are reportable from version 5.27.0 forward. Prior to this release only a few WoS metrics were reportable. 

Metrics available:

On top of the metrics made available in Pure, institutions might have the need of uploading additional metrics to journals. These can be uploaded as local ratings (Journal ratings)

Updating metrics:

To upload local ratings navigating to Administration tab → Citations and Impact factors → Journal ratings

Ratings are added as yearly ratings

Steps to upload ratings

1. Navigating to Administration tab → Citations and Impact factors → Journal ratings
2. Select the "type" of ratings to add. If the type you are looking for is not in the drop-down, then
   1. navigate to Masterdata → Classification scheme. Locate the scheme "Rating sources"
   2. Add a new classification to the scheme
   3. save the editor
3. Select the year of the rating (only one year at the time can be added)
4. Select the data format of the rating you are entering (Text, Number, Integer)
5. Upload the file and run the job

Spreadsheet options

Column description for the uploaded file

Matching journals

The job is using the following priority to locate the journal, but it will not try two options for the same row in the spreadsheet.

ID > ISSN > Title > UUID

Example 1: If a column have both an ISSN and Title, the ISSN will be used and if no journal is found, it will not try to find a journal with the Title if present in the spreadsheet.

Example 2: If two rows appear with the same title, it will update both of them with both values.

Available in Pure:

The local ratings (Journals) are stored on the Journal editor.

The rating is shown in the short renderer of a Journal (eg. for searching for a journal to add to a Research Output)

Pure portal:

Local ratings (Journals) are not available in Pure portal

Available in reporting:
