How Journament Works

A data-driven approach to journal ranking that focuses on real-world engagement metrics

Our Ranking Methodology

The Ranking of Journals

Journament uses analytical data from SciMatic Search Engine to rank academic journals. Rather than relying solely on traditional metrics like impact factor or h-index, we prioritize what researchers are actually interested in by tracking:

Click Engagement

We analyze which journals and articles users actually click on during their research process, revealing real interest patterns.

Search Relevance

Journals that consistently appear in search results for key research topics receive higher visibility scores.

User Behavior

Our algorithms track how researchers interact with journal content, measuring genuine interest over time.

Article Citations

We analyze bibliographic data to understand which articles are being referenced across the academic landscape.

This user-centric approach provides a more dynamic and responsive ranking system that reflects the current interests and needs of the research community rather than relying solely on citation-based metrics.
