The SJR is a measure of journal prestige developed using Google PageRank. This metric accounts for the network of citation relationships between journals, assuming that journals with higher prestige will be cited more by other high prestige journals. In the calculation, each incoming citation is weighted based on the SJR of the citing journal. A citation from a high-SJR source counts for more than a citation from a low-SJR source.
SJR is available both from Scopus and Scimago Journal & Country Rank, though the SJR is the same because it is calculated from Scopus data. Scimago includes grouping by geographic region and includes additional journal data, including trends.
