Good afternoon

I’ve received some inquiries from discipline faculty about a new journal
ranking tool called JRC (JournalRanking.com) which purports to provide a
more “accurate” journal ranking that matches perceived journal influence –
than ISI’s JCR.  According to the methodology description (which seems
quite generalized to me) it builds on an expanded page rank method to
determine Journal Influence Index (JII) and Paper Influence Index (PII).

The tool is freely available at:  http://www.journal-ranking.com

Is anyone familiar with this work?  Any comments?

Thanks
-Rachael
