Academic Journal Guide 2015

The methodology of the Academic Journal Guide is based on a peer review process which is informed by statistical information relating to citation. The final 'ratings' given to journals are not based purely on weighted averages of journal metrics. Instead, the Guide is the result of peer review and consultation conducted by a Scientific Committee of subject experts with peers on the relative standing of journals in each subject area.

We recommend users read the methodology, which includes an introduction from the Editors, acknowledgements and references.
