Various sources offer journal ranking. Deceptive journals sometimes illegitimately claim to have a journal ranking or "impact factor." Below are sources that explain journal ranking for those who would like to understand it further or to check on a particular journal's claims about itself.
University of Toronto Journal Impact guide offers additional interpretations of similar sources. This guide includes links to two subscription sources from University of Toronto. You can access Journal Citation Reports here through Hunter. Hunter does not have a subscription to Scopus, although you may use your Hunter OneCard to visit the CUNY Graduate Center Library, John Jay, or another CUNY library that has a subscription, and use Scopus while you are on that campus.
John Jay's Journal Ranking resource offers additional explanations of the advantages and disadvantages of various journal ranking sources.
York College Journal Rankings and Measures includes extensive discussion of disadvantages of quantitative measures, as well as some sources for journal ranking not included in the guides above.
