Journal Citation Reports® is a comprehensive resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from over 7,500 scholarly and technical journals from more than 3,300 publishers in over 60 countries. It is the only source of citation data on journals, and includes virtually all areas of science, technology, and social sciences. Journal Citation Reports can show you the:
- Most frequently cited journals in a field
- Highest impact journals in a field
- Largest journals in a field
Citation and article counts are important indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals. By tabulating and aggregating citation and article counts, JCR offers a unique perspective for journal evaluation and comparison. JCR is updated annually and with 2008 figures now available you can compare journals from 2003-2008.

Is it true to say it is the ONLY source of citation data on journals? There is http://www.scimagojr.com/index.php based on the SCOPUS dataset which also provides journal level ranking?
