"Average" number of citations?

[Garfield, Eugene]

The JCR is published every year, but in two different formats. Unless you
give the year of the JCR you are using it is difficult to answer your
question. The product is described at
http://www.isinet.com/products/evaltools/jcr/


Formats & Delivery Options

Web-via JCR® on the Web; published annually in the summer following the year
of coverage

CD-ROM-via JCR® on CD-ROM; published annually in the summer following the
year of coverage; networking options available

It used to be published on microfiche and before that for over a decade in
print as the last volume of the SCI or SSCI.

Is there a difference between the JCR located at my library and the JCR
available online from ISI?

Impact factor is basically this measure, and it is in the JCR located at
your library.  Go talk to a reference librarian. -- SB

This may be a dumb question, but here goes...

Is there a way to use Web of Science or Journal Citation Reports to
determine the average (mean) number of citations for a given journal title,
or for journals within a given subject category?
